Construction Risk Mitigation Scanning
Proactive GPR scanning to identify subsurface hazards before your project breaks ground — reducing incidents, delays, and liability across British Columbia.
A division of Anyleak.ca — BC's trusted subsurface specialists since 1999.
Risks We Eliminate Before They Happen
A single utility strike or unexpected subsurface hazard can cost tens of thousands in delays, repairs, and legal fees. Pre-construction scanning costs a fraction of that.
Unlocated underground utilities are the leading cause of construction incidents in BC. GPR pre-scanning eliminates this risk.
Hazards Addressed:
- Gas line strikes — explosion and fire hazard
- Electrical cable contact — electrocution risk
- Water main ruptures — flooding and delay
- Telecom cable damage — service outages and liability
Hidden rebar, post-tension cables, and conduits create serious conflicts when cutting, drilling, or coring is planned.
Hazards Addressed:
- Post-tension cable rupture
- Rebar contact during core drilling
- Conduit damage during slab cutting
- Structural compromise from uninformed modifications
Voids beneath slabs and in subgrade soils can cause unexpected collapses, equipment loss, and worker injuries.
Hazards Addressed:
- Slab collapse from subsurface voids
- Equipment loss into unmarked excavations
- Ground settlement under heavy machinery
- Foundation failure on unstable subgrade
Without documented pre-construction scanning, contractors face WorkSafeBC violations and potential insurance claim rejection.
Hazards Addressed:
- WorkSafeBC non-compliance fines
- Insurance claim disputes
- Project delays from incident investigations
- Legal liability for third-party damages
