All Terrain Ground Penetrating Radar

This concrete scanner is designed to meet your utility locating needs. The easy locator is the tool of choice for anyone who needs to quickly and easily identify the presence of buried utility infrastructure, metallic as well as non-metallic. MALÅ Easy Locator can be used for but is not limited to the following:
  • Utility detection
  • Utility mapping
  • Underground storage tank detection
  • Void detection
  • Locate service or illegal connections
  • Lost cover, valve, cable box or vault detection

CX Concrete Scanner

The CX concrete imaging system is an easy-to-use, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) system designed for the non-destructive investigation and imaging of concrete and other structures. The CX system is the tool of choice for those who need to quickly and easily investigate areas prior to cutting, coring or drilling. Other applications include the following:
  • Concrete/structure inspection
  • Measure the depth of cover or slab thickness
  • Measure layer thickness
  • Locate and map reinforcing support structure
  • Locate non-metallic features, i.e., heating/water pipes
  • Quality assessment and control
  • Void detection

RD8000 Wand

The RD8000 is the ideal radio detection device used for all sorts of ground search. This wand is great for detecting pipes and cables such as electricity, power, water pipes, gas pipes, Telstra cables and water leaks, just to name a few.
  • This device can be used inside or outside
  • It has attachments to allow us to scan small areas
  • It gives a good indication of depth
  • It identifies a magnetic field around pipes and cables
  • Where excessive signals may be present we have a clamp that can help to isolate just one
  • With its dynamic line indicator, we can follow the orientation of the target cable or pipe

Frequently Asked Questions About Floor Scanning

  • What Is Floor Scanning, and Why Is It Important?

    Floor scanning is a precise, nondestructive process we use to detect hidden objects like rebar, electrical conduits, and pipes embedded within concrete slabs. Identifying these elements before drilling or cutting is crucial to avoid structural damage, safety risks, and costly project delays. At Robert Guy & Sons Pty Ltd, we use advanced technology to ensure accurate results, helping you plan and execute your project safely and efficiently.

  • How Does Concrete Scanning Work?

    Concrete scanning uses ground-penetrating radar scanning to send high-frequency radio waves into the concrete surface. These waves reflect off objects below, allowing us to map out what lies beneath without damaging the slab. This technology is vital for locating reinforcements, post-tension cables, or voids to help you avoid risks during construction or renovation. Our experienced team delivers detailed, reliable reports tailored to your project needs.

  • When Should I Book a Floor Scanning Service?

    You should schedule floor scanning before any concrete cutting, drilling, or structural modifications take place. Early scanning helps identify hidden hazards, such as electrical conduits or tension cables, which, if struck, could cause severe damage or delay your project. Contact Robert Guy & Sons Pty Ltd to book a service and gain the peace of mind that your site is fully mapped and safe for work.

  • Is Ground Penetrating Radar Scanning Safe for All Types of Concrete?

    Yes, ground-penetrating radar scanning is a safe, noninvasive method suitable for a wide range of concrete types, including slabs, walls, and columns. It does not cause any structural damage or disturbance to the surface. Our technology provides critical subsurface data that helps you make informed decisions while keeping your site safe and intact during construction or maintenance activities.
