Concrete Scanning for Structural Engineers
Assessment and design depend on knowing what's in the concrete. Engineers use GPR scanning to map reinforcement, measure thickness and find defects non-destructively.
Leaks.ca is the educational leak detection hub and service-support division of Leak.ca, helping BC property owners understand leak risks and connect with professional detection services when needed.
Structural and restoration engineers need reinforcement layout, cover, slab thickness, post-tension profiles and defect mapping — non-destructively — to assess capacity, plan renovations and specify safe penetrations.
What Structural Engineers Need
Scanning Services for Structural Engineers
Map the reinforcement grid and cover so penetrations and anchors land safely between bars.
Measure concrete thickness non-destructively, without coring test holes to check.
Locate tensioned cables precisely — striking one is a serious safety and structural event.
Find the voids, delamination and loss of support that signal deterioration or washout.
Image structural concrete and the ground beneath it to inform engineering and excavation.
FAQ
GPR scanning maps reinforcement layout and cover, measures slab thickness and construction type, profiles post-tension tendons, and detects voids and delamination — all non-destructively, reserving cores for where exact verification is essential.
