Reduce risk, avoid programme delays and make decisions based on evidence – not assumptions.
Concrete Scanning in Grimsby, Lincolnshire
Structural Repairs delivers expert concrete scanning — a precision technique for mapping structures in concrete across Grimsby and the greater Lincolnshire area.
With decades of industry expertise, we help clients act with confidence, safety and accuracy — ensuring every intervention delivers “new or better” results.
Understanding 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 technologies, including:
- Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) — maps rebar, post-tensioning cables and pipes.
- Ferro-scanning / Covermetry — identifies rebar positions.
- Ultrasonic / Delamination detection — locates internal voids.
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 serious problems:
- Striking reinforcement during drilling or coring
- Triggering cracks or instability
- Overlooking water damage
- Increased project cost
- 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.
