Concrete Scanning and Ground Penetrating Radar Services in Kelowna
Kelowna’s rapid commercial and residential development requires careful subsurface planning. Concrete penetration and excavation without proper scanning risks striking embedded services or buried utilities.
Terraprobe provides concrete scanning, GPR scanning, and private utility locating services in Kelowna and the Okanagan Valley, supporting safe and efficient project execution.
Ground Penetrating Radar
Terraprobe, established in 2001, is a leader in Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) services for detecting objects within concrete, underground utilities, and other buried anomalies. With a vast inventory of advanced equipment and software, the company ensures precise, safe, and cost-effective GPR scanning. Terraprobe serves a wide range of clients, including general and specialized contractors, engineering firms, and property managers, making it the go-to GPR scanning provider in Western Canada.
Aerial Survey
Terraprobe provides comprehensive drone services customized to your requirements, serving Kelowna. Whether you need support in planning or assessing construction sites, monitoring construction progress, or inspecting infrastructure with photogrammetry surveys, our skilled team employs advanced drone technology to deliver accurate and detailed results. These results can be used to review an entire site, the area surrounding it, and the progress being made in and around it. Aerial surveys are especially ideal for construction site managers to keep track of their teams progress.

Roadway Analysis Survey
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is used as a tool for assessing the condition of the pavement at locations of distress, as well as identifying areas of previous maintenance/repair activities that are not visible. In assessing the existing condition of a pavement structure, locations of past maintenance activities are often overlooked, or concealed by rehabilitation activities such as mill and overlays. Potential problem areas may not be evident at the time of evaluation, and if ignored could increase the rate of deterioration of the pavement structure.
