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.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for concrete scanning

Concrete reinforcement scanning is a crucial process for ensuring the structural integrity of concrete structures. At Red Laser, we specialise in GPR scanning concrete services , utilising this versatile, non-invasive tool for rebar surveys and concrete assessments. GPR safely and accurately measures concrete thickness, analyses rebar, and identifies structural details. It can detect features in concrete up to a depth of 50cm or more, making it ideal for in-depth structural analysis. The compact size of GPR allows it to detect reinforcement within 10 cm of obstructions, simplifying the GPR scanning concrete process.

Ferro scanning concrete for rebar detection

Advanced technologies, such as GPR and Ferro scanning, have significantly improved the accuracy and efficiency of concrete reinforcement scanning. Ferro scan is a portable device that offers immediate insights into reinforcement details such as cover depth, bar diameter, and spacing. Ferro scanning concrete is conducted in two modes. Ferroscan Quickscans mark positions directly on the concrete surface. Ferroscan Image Scans provides comprehensive images of the reinforcement network, revealing detailed information about reinforcement arrangement, position, cover depth, and bar diameter.

On-site mark-up survey

Our On-Site Mark-Up Concrete Scanning Survey is designed for projects requiring immediate, precise on-site action. Using GPR technology, we detect and mark the exact locations of rebar, pipes, and other critical features directly on-site. This process provides contractors with accurate guidance, reducing the risk of disruptions during cutting and drilling operations, particularly when dealing with structural reinforcements.

Rebar CAD drawings

The results from GPR scanning are invaluable for creating detailed CAD drawings. These drawings confirm as-built conditions, provide reinforcement details when original drawings are unavailable, and facilitate structural assessments. Conducting a concrete survey before construction minimises costly errors and enhances project safety and efficiency.
