Rebar & Conduit Locating in Abbotsford, BC

A 12 mm conduit at 50 mm depth resolves clearly with the 1.6 GHz antenna. Resolution decreases with depth — at 300 mm, closely spaced small targets can merge — which is why we scan every penetration point individually rather than extrapolating.

A severed feeder in a live commercial building means an electrician, an outage, possibly a fire-watch, and a schedule slip — routinely $5,000–$50,000 against a scan that costs a few hundred dollars. Hitting a water line in a wall is worse. The economics are not close.

Yes — the concrete antenna works on any orientation. Wall penetrations for sleeves and ceiling anchors for mechanical hangers are everyday scans.

Yes — targets in one colour, safe windows in another, photographed for the report. Crews drill against the marks the same visit.

Abbotsford sits on Sumas Prairie lacustrine silts, Matsqui till uplands, gravel fans toward Sumas Mountain. Upland till and gravels scan deep and clean; Sumas Prairie's silts (former lake bed) restrict depth and stay seasonally saturated — flood-recovery work taught us every corner of it. We select antenna frequency to match — and where local ground limits radar depth, we pair GPR with electromagnetic locating, acoustic methods, or tracer gas so the survey objective is met regardless of soil conditions.
