Concrete scanning uses ground penetrating radar to locate rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, and voids inside concrete before cutting or coring. Delta Scan maps cover and slab thickness and marks safe cutting zones on the surface, all without breaking or damaging the element.
Concrete scanning uses ground penetrating radar to see inside a concrete element before anyone cuts, cores, or drills it. A handheld scanner is moved across the surface and reads back the position and depth of reinforcing bar, post-tension cables, electrical conduits, voids, and the thickness of the slab, all without breaking the surface. The result is a marked-up map of exactly what is hidden in the concrete and where it is safe to cut.
The reason to scan first is simple: striking a rebar, a live conduit, or a post-tension tendon during coring is dangerous, expensive, and in the case of post-tensioning can compromise the structure. Delta Scan delivers concrete scanning as a standalone service for contractors and as part of a wider structural condition audit, where the same data informs cover, slab thickness, and reinforcement-layout findings for the engineer.
