Excavating work presents challenges in itself, but if you’re unsure about what lies beneath the concrete, the risks of any drilling, cutting, and/or coring work increase tremendously. For construction and utility projects on Oahu, the Kaneohe-based concrete scanning company Haggith’s Structural Scan & Inspection takes the guesswork out of any job and provides peace of mind for the workers.

Sometimes, there’s an assumption that concrete is simply that: concrete. Yet, it’s possible potentially volatile items could lie beneath the concrete’s surface. Anything from pipes to fuel tanks and electrical wires could have been buried, and without proper concrete scanning, you won’t be able to tell what’s there until you hit it.

concrete scanning OahuDrilling, coring, and excavating are, by nature, disruptive processes. Should you damage a reinforcement bar, post-tension cable, or any other utility during your project, it could be costly and time consuming to repair. Thus, your project could face major delays. Additionally, running into any electrical cables or gas/fuel lines could create hazardous conditions that have the potential to cause deadly accidents, facility shutdowns, and outages to homes and businesses. Simply put, the risks of not knowing just aren’t worth it.
