Proven Concrete Scanning and Utility Locating Experience in Southern California

From LAX to Cedars-Sinai, Superior Scanning supports complex projects where accuracy and safety are the only options.

Trusted in High-Stakes Environments

When you are drilling in an active airport terminal or excavating near a hospital’s main power feed, there is no room for guesswork. Superior Scanning has built a reputation for handling high-liability, complex scopes across Southern California.

We work with General Contractors, Electrical and Plumbing Subcontractors, Structural Engineers, and Facility Managers who need verified data before they cut, core, or dig.

Aviation and Transportation

Scanning and locating in secure, active transportation hubs requires strict adherence to safety protocols, security clearances, and tight scheduling windows (often night work).

LAX Airport

Supporting terminal upgrades and infrastructure improvements.

John Wayne Airport

Concrete scanning for utility routing and renovation work.

San Diego International Airport

Utility locating and mapping for site improvements.

The Scope: These environments often involve thick structural concrete, complex rebar grids, and critical communication lines. We use Proceq GP8000 technology to provide clear imaging for runway repairs, terminal renovations, and tarmac utility verification.

Healthcare and Institutional

Hospitals and schools often have decades of unmapped renovations. We help facility teams navigate dense MEP systems without disrupting operations.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center

Concrete scanning for core drilling in active patient care and technical areas.

Schools and Universities

Private utility locating for campus expansions and safety upgrades.

The Scope: Work in these facilities demands low noise and high accuracy. We identify embedded conduits and medical gas lines in slab-on-grade and elevated decks to ensure renovations proceed without cutting critical life-safety systems.

Arts, Culture, and Luxury Developmentsn

Preserving architectural integrity while upgrading infrastructure requires a non-destructive approach.

Hammer Museum

Scanning to support structural and aesthetic updates.

The Beverly House

Careful investigation of historic structures.

Luxury High-Rise Hotels & Condos

Tenant improvements and structural scanning.

The Scope: For high-end and historic properties, we prioritize minimizing visual impact while locating post-tension cables and structural steel. Concrete X-Ray and coring services are often coordinated alongside GPR to provide 100% verification in these high-value structures.

How We Solve Problems

Luxury High-Rise Hotels & Condos

The Challenge: A contractor needed to core drill 50+ holes for new plumbing risers in a post-tensioned luxury hotel deck in Downtown San Diego. Hitting a cable would compromise structural integrity and endanger the crew.

The Solution: Using the Proceq GP8000, we mapped the cable drapes and rebar grid. We marked clear “safe zones” directly on the concrete.

The Result: 50 cores drilled. Zero strikes. Schedule maintained.

The Unmapped School Utility Trench

The Challenge: A school district in Riverside was trenching for a new fiber line. Old as-builts showed clear ground, but the site superintendent suspected undocumented water lines.

The Solution: Our team performed a Private Utility Locate using electromagnetic tools and the ImpulseRadar PinPointR GPR. We discovered and marked two active water lines and an abandoned gas line crossing the trench path.

The Result: The excavation route was adjusted, preventing a line strike that would have shut down campus water.
