How much does concrete scanning cost
Concrete scanning costs depend on area, the number of locations, access, structure type and requested deliverables. Locating items before a few openings and assessing an entire slab are different assignments. Describe your project to ScanAxis to define the survey scope and request a tailored quote.
Request a quoteWhich service fits your project
The service to choose depends mostly on what you are trying to do. The three questions below point to the one that fits your situation and to what is worth clarifying before the visit. No price follows from them: that is set in the quote.
Pre-qualification
Which survey fits your situation
Three questions to find which service matches your project, what a survey can establish there, and what is worth clarifying before the visit.
This tool points you to a service, it does not price anything. No price or lead time is shown, because both depend on the actual scope. Reachable depth depends on the concrete and the reinforcement density: it is established on site, never in advance.
Answer the three questions to see the result.
Pricing by service
Each service is quoted according to the survey scope. The items below are used to prepare the quote.
Concrete scanning
Locate rebar, conduits and other embedded elements with ground-penetrating radar (GPR), without damaging your structures.
Price
Quote required
Based on the planned openings and the area to document.
What affects the quote
- Number and location of planned openings or anchors
- Access to and clearance of the surface to scan
- Possible post-tensioned slab
- Expected deliverable: marking, photographs, sketches or report
Structural assessment
Assess the condition of your concrete structures with precise, non-destructive analyses.
Price
Quote required
Based on the question to answer and the extent of the survey.
What affects the quote
- Area and spacing of the grid survey
- Critical areas and levels involved
- Drawings, earlier reports and the engineer’s questions
- Expected deliverable: methodology, maps, observations and limitations
Corrosion mapping
Identify and map corrosion zones to plan interventions ahead and extend the service life of your structures.
Price
Quote required
Based on the areas to cover and the methods selected.
What affects the quote
- Parking areas and levels to cover
- Access, occupancy and survey phasing
- Measurement method and any complementary tests
- Presentation of results on a plan and the engineer’s needs

Site location is part of the information needed to prepare a quote. For a project elsewhere in Quebec, include the city in your request.
What affects the price
| Factor | Effect on scope |
|---|---|
| Area and locations | One continuous area differs from several separate locations. |
| Structure | Thickness and rebar density influence the survey grid and readings. |
| Access | Obstructions, height and occupancy affect preparation. |
| Schedule | The requested date and availability must be confirmed. |
| Travel | Site location is part of quote preparation. |
| Deliverables | Specify marking, photographs, plans and reporting needs. |
Compare equivalent scopes
Check that proposals cover the same areas and objectives. A local survey cannot be compared with a documented investigation on price alone.
Clarify travel, preparation, deliverables, exclusions and conditions for inaccessible or unreadable areas.
Information to provide
Include the city, site location, structure type, planned work, area or opening count and preferred date. Mention available drawings and access restrictions.
For assessment or corrosion mapping, describe the engineer’s question and the required delivery format.
Frequently asked questions
Are prices listed per square metre?
The billing method and amount must be confirmed in the quote, based on scope and site conditions.
Is a report included?
Specify the required report and check its scope in the quote: photographs, sketches, maps, observations and limitations.
Are travel fees charged?
Site location is needed to prepare a quote. Any travel charges should be specified there.
