Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-destructive, non-intrusive type of surveying technology that can be used rapidly and efficiently without delaying construction or interfering with other tradespeople onsite. It is the most cost-effective method of subsurface investigation.
As a replacement for concrete x-ray technology, GPR offers faster results, is safe for use in public spaces, and provides clearer 2D projections than concrete x-ray technology. GPR produces images in real time for the concrete scanner technician to analyse onsite, whereas the x-ray has to be taken away and the data.
With GPR slab scanning we are able to scan and locate reinforcement, post-tensioning or any services which can assist in modification of slabs.

An ungrouted or poorly grouted precast panel, construction joints and post-tensioned tendons will compromise the strength and serviceability of a structure.
Our team at CES offers full forensic investigations to discover any non-compliant grouting and re-grouts the tendons in a variety of ways.
Grout can be reinstated by hand pumps, powered pumps, or by using a vacuum where access is difficult or restricted.
Post-tension truncations are required when voids or penetrations are being cut out of an existing post tension slab.
Truncation techniques allows to incorporate new lifts, stairs, travellators, mechanical penetrations in existing post-tension structure without compromising the structure’s strength.
CES offers a complete design review, investigation and on-site truncation works.
Corrosion to an exposed steel member is a common phenomenon. The protective coating on structural steel members exfoliates over time, exposing the steel to moisture and causing it to deteriorate.
At CES we can provide forensic investigation to determine the strength of the structure using Non Destructive Testing (NDT).
A dilapidation report is a thorough inspection and documented report on the current state of the property. It allows owners to take proper precautions while also obtaining a record of the property’s current condition.
Dilapidation Report can be on any existing structure to investigate structure’s behaviour and strength.
We at CES, have a team of experts in forensic investigation of structures that can provide engineering guidance and repair solutions.
