Concrete and rebar scanning

We provide accurate and non-invasive concrete scanning services to locate rebar, post-tension cables, voids, and embedded services within concrete structures. Using advanced ground penetrating radar (GPR) and Ferro scanning technology, we help clients avoid costly damage, improve safety, and plan with confidence.

What is concrete scanning?

Concrete scanning is a fast, reliable method of inspecting concrete slabs, walls, columns, and beams without the need for destructive testing. By using GPR/ferro scanning, we can detect what lies within or beneath the concrete surface before drilling, coring, or cutting takes place.

This service is essential for:

  • Structural investigations
  • Pre-drill or pre-cut safety assessments
  • As-built verification and quality control
  • Locating rebar, mesh, conduits, and voids (Ferro scanning to determine rebar diameter)
  • Avoiding costly damage to embedded utilities

Fast, accurate, non-destructive results

Our skilled technicians use high-frequency radar scanning equipment to produce clear, real-time images of embedded features. Results can be marked out on-site for immediate action or provided in a digital report for design, compliance, and future reference.

We provide:

  • Clear identification of rebar layout, spacing and depth
  • Detection of post-tension cables and live services
  • Mapping of voids or honeycombing in concrete
  • Support for structural engineers, contractors, and surveyors
