Concrete Scanning
Non-destructive scanning of concrete elements to detect reinforcement, post-tension cables, and embedded services.
Reinforcement and Embedded Service Detection
Concrete scanning uses Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to locate rebar, post-tension tendons, conduits, and embedded elements within slabs, walls, and structural components. This process supports safe drilling, coring, cutting, and structural modifications by identifying hidden structural features before intervention.
Our Methodology
Delivering excellence through a proven three-stage workflow
Surface Grid Marking & Scanning
The concrete surface is divided into scan grids and surveyed using calibrated GPR equipment.
Reinforcement & Service Detection
Rebar spacing, depth, cable positions, and embedded utilities are identified and analyzed.
Marking & Documentation
Detected elements are marked on-site and documented in layout drawings or scan reports.
Applications
Industry sectors and use cases we serve
Core Drilling & Cutting Works
Prevents damage to reinforcement and post-tension systems

Frequently Asked Questions
Our GPR equipment can detect objects up to 450mm deep in concrete, covering most structural elements and embedded utilities.
Yes, post-tension cables are clearly identifiable with our high-frequency GPR antennas. We map their routing and depth accurately.
Most areas can be scanned and marked in real-time. A typical floor slab takes 2-4 hours depending on size and complexity.
Yes, GPR is completely non-destructive and safe. No radiation is involved — it uses electromagnetic waves similar to Wi-Fi.
