Concrete Scanning
Cutting, drilling or coring a concrete slab for any reason?
It’s vital that you know what’s lurking beneath the surface. The C-thrue Concrete Scanner means we can see down to greater depths than ever before.
Protect people, structures, and utilities and save thousands in costly repairs and time delays. Identify structural faults, cracks, cavities and voids. Detect rebar, conduits and post-tension cables.
Call 022 477 2341. At Precision Site Solutions, we offer a range of concrete scanning services to help keep our clients safe and sound.
We’ll reveal the true picture for optimal decision-making
Due Diligence
See behind the scenes rather than go in blind and take the risk.
Concrete should be scanned before any destructive work is carried out. This includes coring, drilling, cutting, and any other activities which could compromise the concrete’s strength.
Accuracy
Don’t hack into the great unknown.
In renovation projects, concrete scanning gives tradespeople such as plumbers, electricians and HVAC contractors a heads-up as to exactly where they can and can’t drill.
Assurance
Feel confident that safety and building regulations are being adhered to.
Concrete scanning is an incredibly useful tool for showing designers, engineers and architects exactly how much reinforcement is contained within a slab and where it lies.
Get an accurate representation of what’s hidden within the concrete
Our concrete scanners produce on-site, real-time results with minimal disruption and cost. You can literally see through concrete structures and get 3d images onsite. Thanks to our concrete scanners’ advanced GPR processing and imaging software, we can provide clearer and faster surveys.
The dual antenna polarisation means we can clearly visualise major structural components within concrete. We can detect both first and deeper levels of rebars.
The C-thrue Concrete Scanner has the ability to look for more objects or gaps within the first 700mm of concrete than any other scanner on the market. This makes it the only real choice for anybody in the construction industry who takes safety and full disclosure seriously.
Using this advanced concrete scanner we can also assess concrete and detect steel reinforcing and other objects within concrete structures up to a depth of 800mm.
How do we scan concrete?
Concrete is scanned using ground-penetrating radar. This concrete imaging method is safe, non-invasive and more effective and versatile than X-ray. Our scanner is passed over the exposed surface of the concrete, sending a signal. The signal is sent back to the device in different patterns depending on what type of material is found and at what depth. The scanner’s external controller enables real-time data processing and results in 3D models. That means easier and faster data interpretation in the field for more efficient, confident decision-making.
