As pioneers in concrete imaging, Xradar has set a new benchmark for accuracy and comprehensive reporting in non-destructive testing (NDT). This is driven by a deep investment in its industry-leading internal training program – now called XradarAcademy.
Ottawa Regional Manager Jesse Hodgins explains: “Our industry is unregulated, so our commitment to a comprehensive training program is extremely important due to the high-risk nature of our work. We have to set and maintain the highest standards.”
Xradar can accurately locate all embedded targets in concrete slabs prior to cutting or coring, detect and map voids within or below concrete, as well as survey the condition of rebar for corrosion or delamination in structures such as parkades and bridge decks. From small office renovations to large-scale infrastructure such as new-built towers, dams, and bridges – if it’s made of concrete, Xradar can image it.
Using advanced ground penetrating radar (GPR), Xradar precisely locates all embedded targets in concrete before any cutting or coring work begins.
This precision mitigates risk, prevents costly damage to critical infrastructure, and ensures the safety of construction teams. Xradar’s services primarily support the construction industry – including general contractors, engineers, architects, and property managers – who need dependable insights into concrete conditions for renovations, demolitions, new builds, or structural assessments.
Improving project efficiency with precision imaging and reporting
Since its founding in 2010, Xradar has established itself as a national leader in concrete scanning and reporting. Its Eastern Ontario division has experienced rapid growth and plays an increasingly important role in Ottawa’s construction and infrastructure landscape.
- Xradar’s success lies in its commitment to:
Guaranteed and unparalleled imaging accuracy, optimizing teams of technicians from coast to coast. - User-friendly and actionable reporting with embedded elements marked on-slab, and then in your inbox accompanied by further insights within hours of being on site.
- Strategic and integrated use of leading technologies such as GPR, EM, and the proprietary XRSounder
The result is faster, safer, and more cost-effective projects–driven by better information, delivered with confidence.
As a trusted and flexible partner, Xradar works alongside construction teams across Canada to ensure critical elements like PT cables and rebar are accurately marked – keeping projects moving safely, efficiently, and on schedule.
Trusted Experts in Structural Concrete and NDT
Xradar’s technicians are highly trained professionals with a deep understanding of both structural concrete and practical construction applications. This expertise translates into more reliable data and clearer insights for clients, reducing uncertainty and rework.
Daniel Graham from Ellis Don says “We’ve been working with Xradar for years, all across the country, and have always had a great experience. We use them as the most accurate and reliable choice in the cities we operate, especially when handling complex jobs or busy slabs”.
Regional Manager Jesse Hodgins, who spearheaded the Ottawa expansion, continues to oversee growth and client satisfaction. The Customer Service Team plays a key role in coordinating jobs, ensuring quick turnaround on quotes and bookings, and equipping technicians with all necessary details.
