Concrete Scanning
Welcome to our Concrete Scanning expertise, where precision meets safety. Our cutting-edge concrete scanning services are designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of what lies beneath the surface. Whether you're planning construction, renovation, or maintenance projects, our advanced technology ensures accurate and reliable detection of hidden live services within concrete structures. Utilising ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic induction, we unveil the structural composition of concrete, identifying rebar, conduits, post tension cables and other embedded elements.
Gssi Mini is one of three scanners we use.
Cost-Effectiveness: By accurately locating embedded items within concrete before cutting, drilling, or coring, you can avoid damaging critical structures or utility lines. This precaution saves money on potential repairs and reduces the likelihood of project delays due to unexpected complications.
Post Tensioning: Post-tensioning is a critical aspect for builders, with the expense of repairing a compromised strand potentially reaching tens of thousands. These strands play a crucial role in supporting the weight of a suspended slab, unlike rebar sheeting, and their placement may not follow a uniform pattern throughout a structure. Identifying the initiation and termination points of a post-tensioning strand requires the expertise of a skilled operator. At Concrete Scanning & Locating WA, we take pride in our ability to precisely locate all post-tensioning strands.
Quality Assurance: Using a concrete scanner ensures that modifications to the concrete structure are done with a complete understanding of its internal makeup. This leads to higher quality work, as it allows for informed decision-making and precision in modifications.
Non-Destructive Testing: Concrete scanning is a non-destructive method, meaning it provides essential information without damaging the concrete. This aspect is particularly important in renovation or historical preservation projects, where maintaining the integrity of the structure is as important as the renovation work itself.
Regulatory Compliance: In many cases, safety regulations and building codes require knowledge of what lies within a concrete structure before modifications can be made. Concrete scanning is a reliable way to gather this information and ensure compliance with these regulations.
Risk Mitigation: Using a concrete scanner mitigates risks associated with unforeseen structural complications. It provides a clear understanding of potential challenges or limitations, allowing for better risk management throughout the project lifecycle.
