When it comes to finding out the insides of a concrete slab, non-destructive options are the first choice. The two main options are using x-rays or ground penetrating radar (GPR) to see the concrete structure. Both provide a closer look at what’s inside, including rebar, conduit, post-tension cables, and more.

GPR

X-Ray

GPR is an effective method to determine the insides of concrete structures.

X-ray is an old technology that is extremely effective at providing clear imaging.

GPR is nondestructive and emits zero harmful radiation.

X-ray is more precise than GPR scanning as there is less room for interpretation of the results.

GPR can scan large areas with no prior set-up necessary.

X-ray shows more detail about the condition of embedded objects such as rebar- it’s even possible to show areas of corrosion or other defects.

GPR is inexpensive.

X-ray is comparatively high in cost than GPR.
