Frequently Asked Questions About Floor Scanning
What Is Floor Scanning, and Why Is It Important?
Floor scanning is a precise, nondestructive process we use to detect hidden objects like rebar, electrical conduits, and pipes embedded within concrete slabs. Identifying these elements before drilling or cutting is crucial to avoid structural damage, safety risks, and costly project delays. At Robert Guy & Sons Pty Ltd, we use advanced technology to ensure accurate results, helping you plan and execute your project safely and efficiently.
How Does Concrete Scanning Work?
Concrete scanning uses ground-penetrating radar scanning to send high-frequency radio waves into the concrete surface. These waves reflect off objects below, allowing us to map out what lies beneath without damaging the slab. This technology is vital for locating reinforcements, post-tension cables, or voids to help you avoid risks during construction or renovation. Our experienced team delivers detailed, reliable reports tailored to your project needs.
When Should I Book a Floor Scanning Service?
You should schedule floor scanning before any concrete cutting, drilling, or structural modifications take place. Early scanning helps identify hidden hazards, such as electrical conduits or tension cables, which, if struck, could cause severe damage or delay your project. Contact Robert Guy & Sons Pty Ltd to book a service and gain the peace of mind that your site is fully mapped and safe for work.
Is Ground Penetrating Radar Scanning Safe for All Types of Concrete?
Yes, ground-penetrating radar scanning is a safe, noninvasive method suitable for a wide range of concrete types, including slabs, walls, and columns. It does not cause any structural damage or disturbance to the surface. Our technology provides critical subsurface data that helps you make informed decisions while keeping your site safe and intact during construction or maintenance activities.
