Melbourne Concrete Scanning Services, X-Ray Slabs

Avoid damage and costly repairs to services in concrete structures and underground cables, pipes and assets by using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for concrete slab scanning.

If you’re looking to cut, core or drill any concrete structure, it is essential to call on locating and scanning professionals to inspect and evaluate the area prior to starting any work. Using cutting-edge Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) equipment, any hidden features that may pose an element of danger will be identified.

GPR Concrete Scanner

Ground Penetrating Radar technology transmits and receives pulses of electromagnetic energy through the ground or concrete, penetrating concrete up to 300mm thick. Our state of the art GPR equipment passes over the target, sending a high frequency electromagnetic pulse which penetrates the surface.

The electromagnetic pulse is then reflected back off any object within the concrete slab to determine whether the area is safe for cutting, coring or excavation.

How long is a piece of string? Scan And Locate's state of the art techniques and technologies including Ground Penetrating Radar is almost limitless, with the effectiveness based on a range of factors, meaning an effective scan and interpretation can be between a number of inches or many metres in low-conductivity materials.

How much does concrete scanning cost?

Scan And Locate's concrete-scanning specialists tailor pricing based on the requirements of the task, the conditions and various other individual factors. It should be noted that in a cluttered concrete services market, cutting corners can result in property, personal or project damage and losses that far exceed any potential service charge savings.

How does concrete scanning work?

Industry-leading concrete scanning services rely on sophisticated technologies and Scan And Locate's skilled personnel to detect materials, features or voids within concrete. The chief equipment is GRP - ground-penetrating radar, which feeds in detailed information about concrete depth, materials and obstructions thanks to signals sent into and deflected by the working environment.

What is rebar scanning?

Rebar scanning relies on locators that are used to locate the precise position and quality of steel reinforcement bars embedded in concrete structures. Concrete cover is measured by Scan And Locate's skilled team to assess for the need for reinforcement, preparing for the ideal cutting and coring in all types of construction projects.

When is concrete scanning necessary?

Concrete scanning is critical in order to work with concrete, especially when cutting, coring or drilling. Scan And Locate's concrete scanning team use state of the art technologies to check for precise details about embedded structures and obstructions, including any rebar, electrical conduits, voids and for precise concrete analysis.
