Xradar™ aims to change the standard – in part by combining enhanced application of GPR technology alongside a distinct color-coded marking system.
We’ve adapted our system over the years through client feedback and experience, subsurface imaging has never been so unmistakably clear. This gives construction teams the confidence to cut and core with confidence – standing behind Xradar’s Guarantee and 0.03% error rate.
Why Clear Scan Markings Matter
- Prevent Costly Mistakes
Ambiguous or inaccurate markings increase the chance of striking unidentified objects like conduits, rebar, or post-tension cables. Clear Xradar markings eliminate the guesswork, reducing scanning errors to less than 1% and prevent expensive delays and repairs.
- Improve On-Site Safety
Every unclear marking or inconsistent note is a potential hazard. Xradar’s precise, color-coded system ensures everyone on site knows exactly what lies beneath the surface, helping prevent accidents, injuries, and liability.
- Streamline On-Site Communication
Construction sites involve multiple teams: engineers, contractors, and project managers, each needing the same information without the need to track down and analyse reports. Standardized markings create a universal language, ensuring clarity across the board, eliminating misinterpretation.
- Support Long-Term Planning
Xradar doesn’t just mark the surface. Every scan is backed by detailed digital documentation, including AutoCAD-ready files and 3D laser scans when required. This provides a permanent record of subsurface conditions, supporting future renovations, expansions, and maintenance.

The Xradar Scan Marking System©
Clarity on site starts with consistency. That’s why Xradar developed a copyrighted color-coded marking system that eliminates ambiguity and ensures every scan is easy to interpret.
Each color and line style represents a specific subsurface element referencing a key, creating a universal language that everyone on site, from engineers to contractors can understand at a glance.
With the Xradar™ Marking System, every project gains an added layer of consistency, safety, and efficiency.
A Reminder: How Xradar is Different to Regular GPR
- Advanced Application – Xradar is the highest standard of GPR technology in practical application. It is a survey and analysis technique augmented by polarization and phase analysis.
- Guaranteed Accuracy – The experience obtained through the strict and extended training process eliminates major limitations currently present in the field, and enables Xradar to reduce error rates to 0.03%. This is a world away from the industry average error rate of 25%.
- Color-Coded Clarity – A detailed system that is easy to understand and eliminates ambiguity.
- Expert Technicians – A minimum six-month in-house training program (Xradar Academy) ensures consistent, expert results across every project.
- Comprehensive Reporting – Digital reports that extend the value of your scan beyond the immediate project.
Confidence in Each Marking
Xradar scan markings are more than lines on concrete; they’re our sign off, and a guarantee of accuracy, safeguarding your project.
With each scan marking, you can be confident in the years of expertise that have led us to this point – the advanced application of the best technology available, the foundations built by the Xradar Academy, and the service excellence we aim to provide with every project.
