Concrete Scanning in Hull, East Yorkshire
Structural Repairs is a leading provider of concrete scanning — a precision technique for assessing internal defects in concrete across Hull and the surrounding East Yorkshire area.
With a long trading history of industry expertise, we help clients act with confidence, safety and accuracy — ensuring every intervention delivers “new or better” results.
Concrete Scanning Explained
Concrete scanning is a non-invasive method used to see inside concrete. It helps contractors detect what’s beneath the surface — without drilling or damaging the structure.
We utilise several technologies, including:
- Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) — reveals reinforcement, conduits, voids and layers.
- Ferro-scanning / Covermetry — detects metal reinforcement precisely.
- Ultrasonic / Delamination detection — identifies cracks and honeycombing.
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/
Why Skipping Scanning Is Risky
- Neglecting proper scanning can cause dangerous problems:
- Damaging post-tension wires during drilling or coring
- Reducing load capacity
- Overlooking water damage
- Delays and rework
- Injury or property damage
- A comprehensive scan mitigates all these risks, ensuring that every project is safe, efficient and compliant — and that repaired structures are better than before.
