Concrete Scanning Services

Precision Insight for Critical Infrastructure Projects

At UDM Group, our concrete scanning service provides comprehensive visibility of internal structures within concrete slabs, walls and floors—without the need for destructive testing. Using advanced Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) technology, we locate and identify reinforcement, post-tension cables, electrical conduits, water pipes and voids that could compromise your construction project.

Why Concrete Scanning Matters

Construction sites face significant risks when cutting, coring or drilling into concrete structures without proper knowledge of what lies beneath. The consequences of striking hidden features can be severe:

Damage to machinery and equipment
Project delays and budget overruns
Compromised structural integrity
Health hazards from severed services
Potential injury to workers

Our non-destructive testing approach eliminates these risks by providing clear, accurate mapping of all embedded elements before work begins.

Our Concrete Scanning Technology

UDM Group employs industry-leading concrete scanning equipment that delivers survey-grade accuracy:

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR)

Our primary technology sends radio waves through concrete to detect and map embedded objects with precision

Advanced software interpretation

Converts scan data into detailed reports and 3D models

Complementary technologies

Including Concrete X-rays for specialised applications where appropriate

Unlike traditional methods, our concrete scanner technology requires no downtime, creates no mess, and provides immediate results—keeping your project moving forward safely and efficiently.
