Subsurface Imaging

South-East Scanning delivers advanced subsurface imaging using state-of-the-art GPR post-processing. Our services extend well beyond basic scans, providing detailed depth slices, 3D visualisations, and volumetric analysis to support engineers, councils, asset managers, and archaeologists in making informed, risk-aware decisions.

MEET AIDAN AND DION

The Founders Of South East Scanning

South-East Scanning was founded by Aidan and Dion, two brothers from Melbourne, who brought together their extensive experience in the built environment and professional services sectors.

After relocating to South-East Queensland, they established South-East Scanning to fill a niche in the building and construction industry, specialising in ground-penetrating radar, concrete scanning, non-destructive testing, and utility locating services. Their background provided a strong foundation for the business, allowing them to offer expert insights and innovative solutions to meet the complex needs of their clients in the region.

At South-East Scanning, our mission is to help our clients understand sub-surface structures and mitigate their risk with our expertise in ground penetrating radar and utility detection. We are a family business with unique insights and a commitment to our clients’ success.

We look forward to assisting you. Please call 1300 175 543 or use the form below for a fast response.

High-Resolution Depth Slices

Our team captures detailed grid-based GPR scans and applies advanced post-processing techniques to create horizontal depth slices — layer-by-layer views of the subsurface. This method reveals features that often go undetected in traditional line scans, including:

  • Small voids and air pockets
  • Transitions in material types or compaction
  • Hidden objects or disturbed ground
  • Structural inconsistencies below slabs or road bases

These depth slices provide accurate spatial context, whether you’re scanning under concrete, asphalt, or natural ground.

3D Visualisation & Volumetric Analysis

Our volumetric data analysis enables identification and sizing of subsurface voids, anomalies, and cavities. This is especially useful when:

  • Investigating potential ground instability
  • Assessing structural risk near roads, slabs, or embankments
  • Planning remediation or repairs
  • Evaluating the extent of subsurface disturbances

 

We measure the shape, depth, and volume of anomalies to help clients reduce risk and avoid unexpected failures or costly delays.

Structural & Geotechnical Insights

Our processed GPR data supports a wide range of non-destructive investigations:

  • Concrete slab and wall condition assessments
  • Detection of erosion, delamination, or subsurface washout
  • Ground condition profiling for dams, embankments, and critical infrastructure
  • Supporting design validation and safety assurance in engineering projects

All findings are delivered in a clear, professional report with interpreted imagery, depth models, and actionable recommendations.

Archaeology & Cemetery Mapping

For sensitive sites, we offer a non-intrusive approach to subsurface investigation. Our imaging capabilities are ideal for:

  • Locating unmarked graves
  • Identifying buried historical structures or cultural features
  • Supporting heritage consultants with reliable data without excavation

 

We work closely with archaeologists and councils to provide respectful, accurate mapping of important sites.
