Concrete Scanning

Detect hidden objects in concrete and ensure safer construction with RM Surveys’ concrete scanning services.

Advanced Concrete Scanning: Detect, Protect, and Build Safely

RM Surveys’ concrete scanning services use cutting-edge technology to detect hidden elements within concrete structures, such as rebar, pipes, and cables.

This non-destructive method ensures safety during construction, renovation, or maintenance projects by accurately mapping the internal composition of concrete. By locating embedded objects, concrete scanning prevents accidental damage during drilling or cutting and helps maintain structural integrity.

Whether for small repairs or large-scale construction, this service provides essential data to reduce risks, improve efficiency, and protect critical infrastructure during your project.

Avoid Costly Mistakes with Accurate Concrete Scanning

Concrete scanning services are essential for construction, renovation, or maintenance projects involving concrete structures.

By using non-destructive technology, it ensures worker safety by detecting hidden hazards such as rebar, cables, and utilities before drilling or cutting begins.

This helps prevent accidental damage, reduces costly delays, and safeguards the structural integrity of your project.

Concrete scanning also ensures compliance with safety regulations, ultimately saving time and money while providing critical data that keeps your project running smoothly and efficiently from start to finish.

1 Curtin University Precinct

RM Surveys was commissioned to locate and map underground assets at Curtin University, providing essential spatial data to support the design process. Using a combination of Class A and Class B locating techniques, we ensured cost-effective and precise results. This thorough investigation identified potential risks related to development and provided the client with invaluable data for informed decision-making and proactive planning. The project highlights RM Surveys’ expertise in delivering accurate underground asset mapping, enabling Curtin University to move forward confidently with their development plans.

2 Ground Penetrating Radar Notre Dame

In 2018, RM Surveys was engaged to investigate the buried archaeological remnants beneath 3 High Street, once a prominent bakery and residence in West End Fremantle. Using Ground Penetrating Radar, we successfully located the original structural footings without damaging the site. This valuable information will help preserve the history of the location during its future development, ensuring that the heritage of the building is honoured.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I consider concrete scanning services?

Concrete scanning is crucial before any drilling, cutting, or coring of concrete structures. It helps prevent damage to embedded utilities and ensures that the project complies with safety regulations.

Is concrete scanning necessary for small projects?

Yes, even for smaller projects, concrete scanning ensures safety and avoids costly mistakes by detecting any embedded objects that could disrupt or damage the structure.

What technology is used in concrete scanning?

Concrete scanning typically uses Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to create a detailed map of objects hidden within the concrete without damaging the structure.

What types of hazards can concrete scanning detect?

Concrete scanning can detect rebar, post-tension cables, electrical conduits, pipes, voids, and other embedded objects that might pose a risk during construction work.
