Concrete Scanning
Professional Concrete Scanning Services
Concrete scanning is a vital process that ensures safety, precision, and efficiency in every stage of construction across the UAE. At Scan & Core, we use advanced Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology and modern scanning techniques to accurately detect embedded utilities, reinforcements, and potential structural risks within concrete surfaces. Our skilled team works closely with engineers, architects, and contractors to identify and resolve issues before construction or drilling begins—reducing risks, avoiding costly rework, and ensuring project timelines stay on track. With a strong focus on accuracy, reliability, and service excellence, Scan & Core provides trusted and professional concrete scanning solutions tailored to meet the highest industry standards in the UAE.
CONCRETE GPR SCANNING HELPS TO IDENTIFY:
- Slab thickness forecasts for both suspended (hung) slabs and slab-on-grade structures
- Rebar layout identification and precise locating of reinforcement steel
- Detection of post-tension cables and embedded anchors
- Locating metallic and non-metallic conduits, including PVC and fiber cables
- Detection of voids, cracks, and variations in concrete density or quality
- Identification of buried cables and wires within or beneath concrete slabs
- Providing detailed engineering data on rebar spacing, depth, and level of concrete coverage
ADVANTAGES OF GROUND PENETRATING RADAR (GPR) SCANNING:
- Completely safe and radiation-free (no x-rays or harmful emissions)
- Capable of detecting both metallic and non-metallic materials such as PVC, ABS, and ductile pipes
- Requires access to only one side of the concrete slab for scanning
- Fast, portable, and highly efficient for on-site use
- Real-time analysis and reporting directly at the project site
- Suitable for scanning floors, walls, ceilings, roofs, slab-on-grade areas, and Q-deck structures
- Available 24/7 for emergency and scheduled scanning services
DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS OF SCANNING
At Scan & Core, we specialize in professional Concrete Cutting, Concrete 2D & 3D Scanning, and Demolition Works across the UAE.
Our services are designed to deliver accuracy, safety, and reliability for every type of construction project — from residential developments to major infrastructure works.
POST-TENSION SCANNING
At Scan & Core, we specialize in Post-Tension Scanning using advanced GPR technology to accurately detect post-tension cables and tendons. Our service prevents costly structural damage during drilling or cutting, ensuring maximum safety, efficiency, and precision for your concrete projects across the UAE.
REBAR STRUCTURE LOCATING SCANNING
Our Rebar Locating Scanning service identifies and maps embedded reinforcement bars within concrete. Using high-resolution GPR, Scan & Core ensures precise data on rebar placement and depth, helping engineers and contractors make safe, informed decisions during structural modifications or construction works.
ELECTRICAL CONDUIT LOCATING SCANNING
Scan & Core offers Electrical Conduit Locating Scanning to safely detect metallic and non-metallic conduits within concrete. Our advanced radar technology helps prevent electrical line damage during coring or drilling, ensuring construction safety, accuracy, and uninterrupted workflow across UAE projects.
VOIDS DETECTION SCANNING
Our Voids Detection Scanning service identifies hidden air pockets or weak zones within concrete. Using modern GPR systems, Scan & Core delivers accurate insights to maintain structural strength and integrity, ensuring safe and durable construction outcomes for all types of projects in the UAE.
CONCRETE 2D / 3D SCANNING SERVICES
Scan & Core offers comprehensive 2D and 3D Concrete Scanning services designed to map subsurface features accurately.
Our technology detects rebar, conduits, post-tension cables, and other embedded elements before drilling or coring, ensuring non-destructive testing and complete project safety. This process enhances construction planning, prevents damage, and supports engineering precision on-site.
