Curriculum

What You Learn in the Concrete Scanning Course

The course blends classroom instruction with field practice on real concrete. Every participant gets hands-on time operating GPR equipment.

Module 1
GPR Fundamentals

How ground penetrating radar works, wave propagation, frequency selection, dielectric properties of concrete, and common scanning limitations.

Module 2
Rebar & PT Cable Detection

Identifying reinforcing steel and post-tension cables in slab-on-grade, suspended slabs, walls, and elevated decks. Depth measurement and spacing estimation.

Module 3
Conduit & Utility Locating

Finding embedded conduits, pipes, and utility sleeves within concrete slabs and structural walls before cutting or coring.

Module 4
Void & Delamination Detection

Identifying subsurface voids, delaminations, honeycombing, and moisture intrusion zones in concrete infrastructure.

Module 5
Data Interpretation

Reading B-scan and C-scan data, identifying hyperbolic signatures, false positives, depth calibration, and exporting reports for project documentation.

Module 6
Safe Core Drill Guidance

Using GPR scan results to plan safe core drilling and cutting locations. Marking procedures, communication with drillers, and avoiding embedded objects.

Questions

Concrete Scanning Training — FAQ

You will learn how to operate professional GPR systems to detect rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, and voids in concrete slabs, walls, and structural members. The course covers scanning techniques, data interpretation, marking, and safe core drilling guidance.

No prior GPR experience is required. The concrete scanning training is designed for first-time operators and experienced crews alike. Instruction starts with GPR fundamentals and progresses to practical field scanning.

Training uses professional-grade equipment including the GSSI StructureScan Mini XT, GSSI NC 3D Concrete Scanner, GSSI Flex Series antennas, and US Radar Quantum Imager — the same systems available for rental through Rent GPR Florida.

Training is conducted onsite at your jobsite or facility. We travel throughout Florida including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota, Naples, Fort Myers, and surrounding regions.

The full-day course is $1,995 for up to 4 participants. Group pricing and bundled rental-plus-training packages are available — contact us for a custom quote.
