At Building Rank, we provide advanced GPR scanning services in Saudi Arabia to accurately detect
hidden elements inside concrete, soil, floors, foundations, and underground utilities—without any
drilling, cutting, or damage.
Our engineers use high-frequency Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology as part of our ground
penetrating radar services, giving you accurate subsurface data for subsurface investigation,
concrete scanning, rebar detection, and underground utility mapping. This non-destructive method
delivers clear insights up to 7 meters deep, offering a safe and reliable way to understand your
building's true condition through a professional GPR survey based on advanced non-destructive
testing (NDT) techniques.
What Is GPR Scanning?
GPR Scanning Services (Ground Penetrating Radar) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to
conduct detailed subsurface investigation using radar waves to analyze hidden layers beneath
concrete, soil, or floors.
This technology helps engineers, contractors, and property owners detect:
- Rebar locations
- Buried pipes and cables
- Concrete thickness
- Structural voids
- Soil cavities
- Moisture pockets
- Foundation defects
- Internal slab issues
- Hidden construction modifications
These insights make GPR scanning essential for safe drilling, cutting, excavation, renovation, and
concrete integrity testing.
Our GPR Scanning Services
We provide comprehensive GPR scanning services for residential, commercial, and industrial
properties, combining ground penetrating radar services, concrete scanning, rebar detection, and
underground utility mapping for maximum safety and accuracy.
-
Rebar Detection & Corrosion Assessment
- Locate reinforcement bars before coring or cutting
- Assess spacing, depth, and density

FAQ
What can GPR detect inside concrete or soil?
GPR can detect rebar locations, buried pipes and cables, voids, soil weaknesses,
moisture pockets, and internal concrete defects—providing a clear underground map
without any drilling or damage.
Is GPR scanning destructive to walls or floors?
No, GPR scanning is completely non-destructive. It scans walls and floors from the
surface without drilling, cutting, or causing any damage, making it safe for
finished properties and occupied buildings.
How deep can GPR scan?
GPR can typically scan up to 2–4 meters deep, depending on the material density and
the device frequency. In concrete, the effective depth is usually 30–60 cm, while in
soil it can reach several meters with high accuracy.
Can GPR identify the exact location of rebar and its condition?
Yes, GPR can identify the exact location and spacing of rebar, and it can also
indicate its condition by detecting corrosion signs, weak bonding, or areas where
reinforcement density is inconsistent—without damaging the concrete.
Is GPR suitable before drilling, cutting, or excavation?
Yes, GPR is ideal before drilling, cutting, or excavation, as it accurately maps
buried utilities, rebar, conduits, and voids—preventing costly mistakes, damage to
hidden networks, and safety risks during construction.
Can GPR detect underground voids or soil cavities?
Yes, GPR can detect underground voids or soil cavities by identifying changes in
soil density and hidden empty spaces. This helps reveal areas of settlement, weak
soil, or hidden gaps that could cause future sinking or structural problems.
Can GPR help locate water leaks or moisture pockets?
Yes, GPR can help locate water leaks or moisture pockets by identifying abnormal
reflections and low-density areas inside concrete or soil. These patterns indicate
moisture accumulation, hidden leaks, or seepage pathways that are not visible on the
surface.
