What this service does
Concrete scanning uses high-frequency radar to identify reinforcement, conduits and other embedded features before coring, drilling or saw cutting.
Common applications
- Rebar mapping
- Post-tension risk reduction
- Conduit detection
- Core drilling clearance
- Slab investigation
Methodology
We start by reviewing drawings, target depth, planned intrusive works and access constraints. Field collection is then completed using a survey pattern appropriate to the site, with complementary locating methods used where they improve confidence. Findings are interpreted, positioned and issued in clear engineering deliverables.
Limitations and quality control
Scanning results are used to identify safer work zones. Structural decisions remain the responsibility of the project structural engineer where reinforcement modification is proposed.
Typical deliverables
- Marked-up plans and/or CAD drawings
- Depth annotations where technically supportable
- Survey coverage and methodology record
- Engineering report with findings and limitations
- GIS-compatible outputs when required
