Expert concrete scanning services
Using advanced technology for accurate rebar detection and rebar mapping
At Red Laser, we dedicate an entire department to the art of concrete scanning and rebar mapping. Our concrete scanning services utilise advanced technologies such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to scan concrete for rebar and reveal hidden features beneath the surface of concrete structures. We provide precise locations of rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, voids, and other concealed elements, ensuring safety, structural integrity, and efficient project planning. Our GPR concrete scanning services include delivering high-quality utility drawings in compliance with PAS128 standards, empowering your construction projects with confidence and security.
Our GPR concrete scanning survey deliverables provide essential insights for construction projects and include:
- Field sketches
- CAD drawings
- Radargrams
- Depth slices
- 3D models
- Comprehensive reports

Advanced concrete scanning solutions
Employing advanced technologies to safely and efficiently detect subsurface features
At Red Laser, we employ a range of advanced techniques for concrete scanning to ensure precise detection of hidden elements. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is our primary tool, providing non-invasive, accurate detection of rebar, cables, and voids up to 50cm deep. For detailed rebar mapping and reinforcement analysis, we use Ferroscan, which delivers immediate insights into bar diameter, cover depth, and spacing. These and other advanced methods guarantee safety, structural integrity, and efficiency in every project.

What is concrete scanning?
Concrete scanning is a non-destructive technique that uses advanced technology, such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), to penetrate concrete surfaces and detect objects, anomalies, and structural details hidden beneath the surface.
What can concrete scanning detect?
Concrete scanning can detect a wide range of crucial information, including rebar placement, voids, cracks, non-ferrous services like pipes and conduits, changes in surface, and even the thickness of concrete slabs.
What is the purpose of the rebar survey?
A rebar survey is essential for assessing the location, spacing, and condition of reinforcement bars (rebar) within concrete structures. It ensures safety, prevents damage during drilling or cutting, and confirms compliance with construction standards.
How do you test for rebar in concrete?
At Red Laser, we employ advanced concrete scanning technology, particularly ground penetrating radar (GPR), to test for rebar in concrete. GPR emits radar waves that bounce off rebar, allowing us to visualise and map its precise location within the concrete.
How does concrete scanning work?
Concrete scanning works by sending electromagnetic waves or sound waves into concrete structures. When these waves encounter different materials or anomalies within the concrete, they reflect back to a receiver. By analysing these reflections, we create detailed images and reports.
Why do we use concrete scanning technology?
Concrete scanning technology is essential for construction and renovation projects. It improves safety by detecting concealed hazards, prevents damage to utilities and reinforcement bars, saves both time and money, and ensures the structural integrity of concrete structures. It’s a vital tool for making informed decisions in the construction industry.
