Founding Story
Structure Scan Inc. was founded in 1999 by Tony Brunette in Winnipeg, Manitoba. What began as a small, passionate venture has grown into a trusted name in Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and utility locating.
From the start, Tony’s mission was clear: deliver high-quality, non-invasive subsurface services with integrity, attention to detail, and a personal touch. At a time when accurate underground information was often incomplete or hard to obtain, he saw the need for reliable damage-prevention expertise that construction professionals could depend on.
What started as one man’s dream has become a thriving family-owned and operated business built on trust, quality, and innovation. Today, that legacy continues under the leadership of Tony’s son, Michael Brunette, and nephew, Allan Gunter. After Tony sold the company to them, Michael and Allan have brought their own energy, experience, and fresh perspective to Structure Scan—while remaining firmly committed to the vision and values Tony established more than 25 years ago.
As damage prevention specialists, Structure Scan continues to help clients protect people, property, and infrastructure through accurate, reliable subsurface information—serving Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Western Ontario, and Nunavut with the same care and commitment that defined the company from its earliest days.
What We Offer
Structure Scan provides specialized damage prevention services that give construction professionals, engineers, contractors, and project managers accurate subsurface information before they dig, cut, or drill.
Our Core Services
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) & Concrete Scanning
We use advanced non-invasive GPR technology to locate rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, voids, and other embedded features within concrete structures. This allows safe cutting, coring, and drilling while protecting structural integrity.
Private & Public Utility Locating
Our technicians identify and mark underground utilities—both public and private—to prevent costly and dangerous utility strikes. We deliver clear, reliable results that support safe excavation and project planning.
Locate Management System (LMS)
We simplify the entire utility locating process. From submitting Call Before You Dig tickets and coordinating public locates to performing private utility sweeps and delivering GPS-mapped results, our LMS keeps your project organized, efficient, and fully documented.
Subsurface Investigations
Whether for construction planning, structural analysis, or ongoing project support, we provide the detailed subsurface data needed to make informed decisions and reduce risk.
