What a blind cut costs

The most expensive marks are the ones that aren’t there.

STRUCTURAL

A severed PT cable

Florida builds on post-tension slabs more than nearly any other state. Cut a live tendon in Orlando and you’re into structural repair, engineering review, and dangerous recoil.

SAFETY + DOWNTIME

A hit conduit

Live electrical in the slab means shock risk for your crew and an outage for the building, a non-starter in occupied commercial space and live retail.

THE 811 GAP

Sunshine 811 stops at the meter

Sunshine 811 only marks public mains: no depth data, nothing private. Over 60% of the lines under Orlando properties are privately owned and invisible to the ticket.

BAD RECORDS

As-builts that lie

Slab-on-grade construction, decades of reroutes, and hurricane-code reinforcement that never made the drawings. In Orlando, scanning is the only way to know what’s down there.

We scan first, so none of this happens on your job.

Why Orlando Construction Demands Expert GPR Scanning

Orlando’s explosive growth and unique Orange County conditions create subsurface risks that require specialized GPR expertise, not guesswork.

01

Post-Tension Slabs Everywhere

Florida uses more post-tensioned concrete per capita than nearly any other state. Orlando’s commercial and residential construction relies on PT slabs as standard. Striking a cable costs $10,000–$50,000+ in repairs. GPR scanning locates every cable before you cut or core.

02

Downtown & I-Drive Corridor Boom

Orlando is one of the fastest-growing metros in the U.S., with billions in new construction along the I-Drive corridor, Downtown Creative Village, and Lake Nona Medical City. High-volume construction requires thorough private utility locating before every foundation pour.

03

Karst Limestone & Sinkhole Risk

Orlando sits on a karst landscape where porous limestone bedrock is covered by loose sandy soils. This combination accelerates subsurface void formation. GPR scanning detects voids and soil migration that traditional site surveys cannot reveal.

04

Shallow Water Table Challenges

Orange County’s water table can sit just a few feet below grade, and heavy afternoon storms can raise it significantly overnight. Saturated sandy soils complicate both excavation and GPR signal behavior. Our technicians calibrate specifically for Orlando’s high-moisture ground.

05

Tourism & Hospitality Construction

Orlando is the theme park and convention capital of the world, with resort properties continuously expanding and renovating. These projects feature dense utility runs, pool plumbing, and complex foundations packed into tight footprints. Scanning before modification prevents costly strikes.

06

Orange County Permitting & Compliance

Orange County enforces strict permitting requirements for commercial and residential construction, including right-of-way permits for work near public utilities. Many projects require documented subsurface utility identification before permits are issued. Professional GPR reports satisfy these requirements.

What we do here

Every service, on site in Orlando.

From initial scanning to detailed reporting: everything Orlando contractors need to cut, core, and dig safely.

01

Concrete scanning & imaging

Full GPR scanning of slabs, foundations, and structural elements across Orlando’s commercial and residential properties. If you are renovating an I-Drive hotel or modifying a Downtown office tower, we map rebar, conduits, voids, and slab thickness with real-time surface markings.

02

Underground utility locating

Sunshine 811 only marks publicly owned lines with no depth data. In Orlando’s commercial districts and master-planned communities, the majority of utility lines are privately owned and invisible to 811. We use GPR and EM equipment to locate and mark these hidden lines with approximate depths.

03

Concrete core drilling

Pre-drill scanning to identify safe drilling locations in concrete. We scan the area, mark clear zones, and give your coring crew confidence that they won’t strike rebar, PT cables, or embedded conduits. Scan-and-core packages available.

“Tony and the team were great to work with. We called them needing a locate due to an underground brake and they got out to us very quickly and we were able to get the customer powered back up. We will definitely continue to use them on future projects!”

“I was in need of some last minute scanning of a PT Deck on an ongoing project. Rainier GPR was able to accommodate my schedule and came out same day to preform the scanning. Mathew and Sam were great to work with as usual. Overall top notch service.”

“Amazing guys. Very reliable and dependant. Super easy to communicate and work with. They blessed the project of our new church building massively. Would highly recommend them. Best prices out of everyone I contacted and was out in 1 day to get it done. 10/10”

Common questions

Orlando GPR scanning, answered straight.

Orlando scanning projects typically range from $650 to $1,750 depending on scope and complexity. Small residential scans (single slab penetration or core drilling support) start around $650. Commercial projects: tenant build-outs along I-Drive, Downtown high-rise renovations, or Lake Nona Medical City construction, typically run $650–$1,750. Multi-day utility locating projects are quoted by the scope of work. Every project receives a detailed report with findings. Call (407) 493-3525 for a free, no-obligation quote.

Orlando’s construction environment combines several risk factors that make GPR scanning essential. The karst limestone geology beneath Orange County creates documented sinkhole risk, voids can form silently under existing structures. Post-tension slabs are standard in Central Florida construction, and striking a single PT cable costs $10,000–$50,000+ in repairs. Orlando’s rapid growth means dense private utility networks that Sunshine 811 cannot locate. Finally, Orange County permitting often requires documented evidence of subsurface utility identification before work begins.

Yes. GPR subsurface surveys are one of the most effective non-invasive methods for detecting subsurface voids, soil migration patterns, and geological anomalies associated with sinkhole activity in Orange County’s karst terrain. Our technicians use calibrated antenna frequencies optimized for Central Florida’s sandy soils and limestone bedrock. GPR sinkhole screening is critical for pre-construction due diligence on undeveloped land, investigating settlement or cracking on existing properties, and satisfying insurance or engineering requirements for property transactions.

Sunshine 811 is a free service that marks publicly owned utility lines (water mains, gas lines, and public sewer) but provides no depth information and does not locate private utilities. In Orlando’s commercial districts, master-planned communities, and resort developments, the majority of underground utilities are privately owned: private water and sewer laterals, irrigation systems, electrical feeds, telecom conduit, and pool plumbing. These are completely invisible to 811. RainierGPR uses ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic (EM) locating equipment to find and mark these hidden private lines with approximate depth data, protecting your crew and your project.

Next-day service is standard for Orlando and all of Orange County. For urgent situations (active construction delays, emergency utility strikes, or time-sensitive inspections) we offer same-day emergency response. Our Orlando-based operations mean we’re local to your job site, not dispatched from a regional hub hours away. Call (407) 493-3525 to schedule or request emergency service.
