Concrete Scanning in Sydney

Advanced GPR & Concrete X-Ray Scanning Services

Concrete Engineering Solutions provides highly accurate, non-destructive concrete scanning in Sydney using advanced GPR technology. Established in 2020 by a team of experienced professionals, we deliver value-added engineering solutions that protect people, assets, and structures across commercial, industrial, and civil projects.

Concrete scanning is an essential risk-management step before any concrete cutting, coring, drilling, or structural modification. Our scanning services give you clarity on what lies within concrete, before costly or dangerous mistakes occur.

What is Concrete Scanning?

Concrete scanning is the process of inspecting the internal composition of concrete using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and electromagnetic locating technologies. It allows hidden objects and anomalies to be identified without damaging the structure.

Using high-frequency radar waves, GPR scanning creates real-time images of embedded objects, enabling accurate marking and safe work planning.

Why Concrete Scanning is Critical before Drilling or Cutting

Drilling or cutting without scanning exposes projects to serious risks, including:

  • Striking post-tension or pre-tension cables
  • Damaging live electrical services
  • Hitting water, gas or communication lines
  • Compromising structural reinforcement
  • Injuring operators or damaging equipment
  • Costly repairs, delays and compliance issues

Professional concrete scanning eliminates these risks and supports safe, efficient construction in Sydney.

Our Concrete Scanning Services in Sydney

GPR Scanning Sydney (Concrete X-Ray)

We use industry-leading Ground Penetrating Radar systems to “see through” concrete slabs, walls and structural elements.

GPR scanning allows us to accurately detect:

  1. Post-tension and pre-tension cables
  2. Reinforcing steel (reo bars)
  3. Electrical conduits and live services
  4. Metallic and non-metallic pipes
  5. Voids, honeycombing and inconsistencies
  6. Beams, thickenings and slab edges
  7. Approximate slab thickness and cover

Our technicians interpret scan data on-site and mark findings clearly for immediate use.

Service & Utility Locating

In addition to GPR scanning, we use electromagnetic locating to trace live underground and in-slab services.

This enables safe identification of:

  • Electrical cables
  • Telecommunications and data lines
  • Water and sewer services
  • Gas pipelines
  • Stormwater and drainage systems

All locating is performed with safety, accuracy and compliance in mind.

Concrete Structure Investigation & Concrete Thickness Testing in Sydney

Concrete scanning provides critical data for engineers and builders assessing structural performance.

We assist with:

  • Slab thickness verification
  • Reinforcement spacing and depth
  • Locating beams, footings and load paths
  • Identifying voids or poor concrete consolidation
  • Supporting engineering calculations and design decisions

This service includes professional concrete thickness testing in Sydney to support engineering assessments, load calculations and compliance verification.

Pre-Drilling, Coring & Cutting Scans

Concrete Engineering Solutions works closely with builders, trades and engineers to ensure scanning is completed before:

  • Core drilling
  • Wall or slab cutting
  • Saw cutting or dyna-drilling
  • Anchor installation
  • Structural modifications

This ensures safe set-out, protects structural integrity and prevents costly rework.

Where Concrete Scanning is Used

Our concrete scanning services in Sydney are suitable for a wide range of structures, including:

  • Concrete slabs and floors
  • Walls and columns
  • Balconies and decks
  • Beams and footings
  • Car parks and roadways
  • Bridges and tunnels
  • Staircases and ramps
  • Commercial and industrial buildings

Our Technology & Methodology

We utilise advanced multi-antenna GPR systems capable of producing real-time 2D images of embedded objects. Scan data is interpreted by experienced technicians and engineers, ensuring reliable results, not assumptions. Concrete thickness testing in Sydney is carried out using calibrated GPR systems to estimate slab depth, cover and structural zones accurately.

Key advantages of our approach:

  • Non-destructive and safe
  • Fast on-site results
  • Accurate marking and depth estimation
  • Minimal disruption to other trades
  • Clear documentation and reporting

Professional Reporting & Documentation

All scanning investigations are supported by clear, professional reporting suitable for:

  • Engineers
  • Builders and contractors
  • Asset owners
  • Surveyors and project managers

Reports include marked-up images, findings summaries and practical guidance for safe work execution.
