Concrete Scanning, or “Concrete X-Ray”, is a non-invasive method for detecting and recording concrete slab depth, reinforcement and other components of concrete structures. Using high frequency, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is able to see under the surface of concrete in high definition so that we’re able to determine the location, position and depth of objects and features like:
- Steel Reinforcement
- Slab Dimensions
- Beams
- Concrete & Pavement Layers
- Pre & Post-Tension Cables and Ducts
- Live Electrical
- Structures & Voids
NSW Land Services will often conduct Concrete Scanning before commencing a Set-Out Survey as it is a crucial step for planning, design and engineering.
The Process
- Discuss purpose and scope of Concrete Scanning to determine cost estimate
- Request service location documents from DBYD
- Visit site and perform field Concrete Scanning
- Draft and release report in electronic PDF format (if requested)
