Concrete Scanning

See what is inside concrete before cutting, coring or drilling—with real-time GPR findings and practical guidance for the work ahead.

BWize technician scanning a concrete slab with ground-penetrating radar

Clear information.
Practical execution.

Concrete can conceal reinforcement, post-tension cables, live conduits, structural steel and voids. BWize uses non-destructive Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to build a clearer picture before penetrations or alterations begin.

Our technicians combine modern scanning equipment with on-site interpretation. The result is practical information your construction, engineering or facilities team can use to choose safer locations, reduce uncertainty and keep work moving.

From a single proposed penetration to staged scanning across a complex facility, we tailor the grid, marking and reporting to the decision your team needs to make.

Where this service helps.

  • Pre-cutting, coring and drilling checks
  • Rebar and reinforcement mapping
  • Post-tension cable and conduit detection
  • Slab, wall and column investigations
  • Concrete thickness and void assessment
  • Renovation, fit-out and QA investigations

What your team gains.

  • Non-destructive investigation with minimal site disruption
  • Real-time findings discussed with the team on site
  • Reduced risk of service strikes and structural damage
  • Clear markings, visuals and reporting where required
  • Advice that supports the next cutting or drilling decision

A considered path
from scope to outcome.

Every site is different. We confirm the requirement, choose a suitable method and keep the people relying on our work informed.

01

Understand the scope

We review the proposed work, access, drawings and known site constraints before scanning begins.

02

Scan and interpret

The target area is prepared, scanned systematically and interpreted by an experienced technician in real time.

03

Communicate the findings

We mark relevant features and provide clear information or reporting so the project team can decide what happens next.

Useful information
for the next decision.

  • On-site interpretation and clear surface markings
  • Locations and scan limits explained to the site team
  • Photographic or marked-up evidence where included in scope
  • Written findings or reporting matched to project needs

Questions about
concrete scanning.

Scope, access and site conditions can change the right approach. These answers are a useful starting point before we review your project.

What can concrete GPR scanning locate?

GPR can help identify reinforcement, post-tension cables, conduits, changes in slab thickness and possible voids. Results depend on material, depth, congestion, access and site conditions, so we explain the confidence and limitations of each scan.

Should scanning happen before every cut or core?

Scanning is strongly recommended wherever hidden reinforcement or services could be affected. It gives the cutting or drilling team better information before committing to a penetration.

Can BWize provide a concrete scan report?

Yes. Depending on the scope, findings can be delivered through surface markings, photographs, marked-up plans or a written report. Confirm the required format when booking so it can be built into the job.

Melbourne based.
Regional & interstate.

BWize regularly works across metropolitan and regional Victoria and supports interstate projects throughout southern and eastern Australia—with wider travel considered where the scope calls for it.
