Concrete Radar & Location Services
Building Maintenance in Brisbane

Concrete Radar and Location Services (CRLS) are a specialist location service provider catering to the building and construction industry. As a value added service, we provide all our clients with written reports on every job. Our array of antennas even allow us to locate geological targets, such as changes in subsoil consistency and composition for environmental surveys or mining purposes. Whether it be metallic gas pipelines, fibre optic or data cables or any buried target, phone lines, PVC water mains, terracotta or concrete sewers and storm water pipes, our technicians can locate them quickly and accurately. Using our low frequency shielded antenna, we can immediately locate and mark buried services. Service Location: CRLS has the capability to locate almost anything to a depth of 4 metres. Using direct or induction method scanning, we can also locate and trace non-electrified metallic services within slabs or underground. This particular unit allows us to locate data and telephone cables, as well as measuring their depth with unsurpassed speed and accuracy. CRLS uses the latest model Ridgid line locator and Transmitter to induce, detect and trace any power cables within floors, walls or underground. Power and Cable Location: This service offers the project owner enormous peace of mind by greatly reducing the risk of injury and repair costs on jobs where cutting or drilling is required. • Provide all customers with reports as a value added service. • Offer a service that is cheaper, safer and quicker than x-ray. • Measure concrete cover and reinforcement size. • Precisely locate penetration exit points to avoid thickenings and beams. • Verify areas safe for cutting and core holes. • Verify slab thickness. • Detect concrete inconsistencies such as voids, cracks, honeycombing and others • Locate targets directly under slabs or behind walls. • Locate conduit, PVC pipes and voids within concrete walls and slabs up to one metre in depth. We can: • Locate reinforcement and pre-tensioned tendons in walls and floors. Our technicians have a range of antennas on hand, which was developed specifically for situations involving closely spaced reinforcement, including the high definition 2600 MHz antenna, conduit or small voids within concrete. Concrete Inspection and Scanning: CRLS uses equipment developed by the world’s leading ground and cement penetrating radar manufacturer to locate and trace almost anything within concrete slabs and walls. They have also received rigorous and ongoing manufacturer backed training, which means that they have a full understanding of the capabilities of our equipment and can perform a quick and accurate service, saving your project time and money. Unlike other service providers, our trained technicians hold current building industry qualifications and have a thorough understanding of construction methods and requirements. Developed by the world’s leading manufacturer and with the capability of multi-antenna scanning, our equipment is considered vastly superior to any other brand on the market today. We use ground and concrete penetrating radar (GPR) systems to produce meaningful data about the location and size of building components, power and other services. (more).
