Reduce risk, avoid programme delays and make decisions based on evidence – not assumptions.
Concrete Scanning in Ramsgate, Kent
Structural Repairs is a leading provider of concrete scanning — a cutting-edge technique for assessing internal defects in concrete across Ramsgate and the greater Kent area.
With decades of industry expertise, we help clients act with confidence, safety and accuracy — ensuring every intervention delivers “new or better” results.
What Is Concrete Scanning?
Concrete scanning is a non-destructive method used to see inside concrete. It helps engineers detect what’s beneath the surface — without drilling or damaging the structure.
We utilise several detection methods, including:
- Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) — maps rebar, post-tensioning cables and pipes.
- Ferro-scanning / Covermetry — measures concrete cover.
- Ultrasonic / Delamination detection — detects zones of weakness or delamination.
These techniques create a detailed internal picture — enabling safe, accurate, and informed decision-making before cutting, coring or repairing. Our concrete scanning work follows recognised UK non-destructive testing standards, such as the guidance published by the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing: https://www.bindt.org/
What Happens If You Skip Scanning?
- Neglecting proper scanning can cause dangerous problems:
- Damaging post-tension wires during drilling or coring
- Weakening the structure
- Ignoring early-stage defects
- Delays and rework
- Site shutdowns and liability issues
- A comprehensive scan mitigates all these risks, ensuring that every project is safe, efficient and compliant — and that repaired structures are better than before.
