Leading concrete scanning firm in the UK
Comprised of experienced structural investigation engineers
Each engineer possesses over 10 years of experience on prominent national projects
CUTTING EDGE TECHNIQUES
Utilises cutting-edge ferroscan, GPR scanning, and
ultrasound equipment
Offers insights into sub-surface elements, dimensions, and
anomalies in structures
Aids in educating the construction process, reducing team
stress, enhancing productivity, and minimising downtime
Our team uses the latest Hilti
Ferroscan PS300, offering details
up to approximately 200mm
below the surface
HILTI
FERROSCAN
SURVEYS
Popular form of concrete scanning
for rebar detection and positioning
in reinforced concrete.
Provides detailed information on
bar diameter, spacing, and sub-
surface conditions.

GPR CONCRETE SCANNING
Identifies various elements within structures:
Voids, cracks, reinforcing bars (position, spacing, layout)
Non-ferrous services (pipes, conduits, ductwork)
Changes in surface
Calculates slab thickness
View two layers of reinforcement without
accessing both sides
Improved operating depth
Identifies voids, buried services, and non-
metallic elements
Marks reinforcement without removing
levelling compounds or screeds
Generates 3D and cross-sectional images
inside the slab

Advantages of GPR Concrete Surveys
Often requires testing from only one
side, eliminating access issues
Provides immediate critical data,
minimising downtime and
maintaining productivity
Follow-up with detailed drawings
and reports on areas of concern
Ultrasonic Testing of Concrete
Revolutionises concrete scanning for defect detection
Changes industry practices for locating concrete structure
flaws
Advantages
CONCRETE COVERMETER SURVEYS
A simple and cost-effective concrete scanning method
Locates reinforcing bars (rebar) and determines cover depth in concrete slabs
10
ADVANTAGES OF COVER METER
Handheld instrument using pulse-induction technology
Induces electromagnetic pulses into concrete to locate rebar
Determines cover depth based on the strength of the magnetic field generated by
rebar
Historically reliable method before advanced tools like Hilti Ferroscan
Useful if bar diameter and spacing details aren't necessary
Lower equipment costs and reduced reporting time, proving cost-effective for
projects
