Concrete Scanning in Hull,

Concrete Scanning in Hull, East Yorkshire

Structural Repairs delivers expert concrete scanning — a non-destructive technique for mapping structures in concrete across Hull and the wider East Yorkshire area.
With over 35 years of reliability and success, 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-intrusive method used to analyse the hidden structure of concrete. It helps contractors detect what’s beneath the surface — without drilling or damaging the structure.

We utilise several detection methods, including:

  • Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) — provides high-resolution imaging of concrete interiors.
  • Ferro-scanning / Covermetry — measures concrete cover.
  • 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/

What Happens If You Skip Scanning?

Our Concrete Scanning Process

We follow a engineered process to deliver precise, verifiable results.

1. Initial Consultation & Planning

  • Early-stage project review.
  • Review existing documentation.
  • Define scan areas.

2. On-Site Setup & Calibration

  • Prepare target zones.
  • Account for concrete density.
  • Confirm safety zones.

3. Data Acquisition

  • Gather overlapping passes.
  • Combine technologies for accuracy.
  • Record precise depth and feature data.

4. Data Analysis & Interpretation

  • Transform raw data into 2D/3D maps.
  • {Identify rebar, conduits, voids and defects}.
  • Highlight anomalies.

5. Reporting & Recommendations

  • Deliver clear reports.
  • Advise repair or reinforcement needs.
  • {Offer guidance on risk reduction and compliance}.

6. Integration & Follow-Up

We turn technical insight into actionable solutions — all managed by our in-house engineers.

  • Verification testing.
  • Seamless survey-to-solution workflow.

Our Scanning Projects

Our concrete scanning is the preferred choice for a wide range of construction, engineering and inspection tasks:

Commercial, Industrial & Residential Buildings

  • Hospitals, schools and offices
  • Investigating unknown construction details
  • {Reducing risk during refurbishment, fit-out or M&E installation}

Heritage, Conservation & Sensitive Sites

  • Structures requiring non-intrusive inspection
  • Non-destructive surveys that preserve fabric
  • {Understanding hidden features without intrusive works}

Refurbishment, Renovation & Compliance

  • {Helping meet safety, survey and regulatory requirements} work safely, precisely and efficiently — saving time, money and risk.
  • Renovation and retrofit works
  • Ensuring structural integrity before modifications

Cutting, Drilling & Penetration Safety

  • Pre-cutting safety checks
  • Locating rebar, tendons, conduits and services
  • Supporting method statements and RAMS

Infrastructure, Civil & Structural Engineering

  • Rail and transport structures
  • Identifying voids and defects
  • {Supporting repair, strengthening and load-bearing investigations}

Why It Pays to Scan

Prevents costly mistakes.

Ensures compliance.

Accelerates projects.

Informs targeted repairs.

Confirms integrity.

Extends life of assets.

When combined with our other services — such as resin injection, crack stitching, and carbon fibre reinforcement — scanning delivers a complete, low-risk repair strategy.

Answers About Concrete Scanning

How deep can you scan concrete?

Typical GPR depth is sufficient for most reinforced slabs. For thicker structures, multi-frequency scanning is available.

Will scanning damage the surface?

No — it’s completely non-invasive.

How accurate are your concrete scanning results?

Our systems provide high-resolution imaging, verified by in-house engineers.

Can you scan concrete before core drilling or saw cutting?

Absolutely — it’s one of the key benefits of scanning.

Do you also carry out repairs?

Yes — we combine scanning with structural repair services, delivering end-to-end solutions from survey to restoration.
