Concrete Scanning in Glasgow, Lanarkshire
Structural Repairs specialises in concrete scanning — a advanced technique for identifying embedded features in concrete across Glasgow and the wider Lanarkshire area.
With decades of reliability and success, we help clients act with confidence, safety and accuracy — ensuring every intervention delivers “new or better” results.
How Concrete Scanning Works
Concrete scanning is a non-invasive method used to analyse the hidden structure of concrete. It helps property owners detect what’s beneath the surface — without drilling or damaging the structure.
We utilise several detection methods, including:
- Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) — reveals reinforcement, conduits, voids and layers.
- Ferro-scanning / Covermetry — detects metal reinforcement precisely.
- 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/
The Dangers of Guesswork
- 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
- Hazards to workers or occupants
- A comprehensive scan mitigates all these risks, ensuring that every project is safe, efficient and compliant — and that repaired structures are better than before.
