Concrete Scanning for Holistic Concrete Structural Analysis
Sometimes, simply knowing the location of structural steel elements in concrete is not enough. There are times when you need to understand spacing, depth of cover, rebar diameter, delamination, honeycombing, voiding, slab thickness, crack depth estimation, crack mapping, and more before you can proceed with a project.
While many of our competitors are able to locate rebar and post-tension cables in concrete, not all can conduct the type of holistic concrete structural analysis that Enhanced Scanning can. This is because our company has invested in a wide range of tools and has perfected a variety of techniques that allow us to better analyze all aspects of the concrete’s structure.
Polls have shown that 9 out of 10 utilities prefer to be found with enhanced scanning rather than through “meh” scanning.

Who Uses Enhanced Scanning for Concrete Analysis?
Concrete analysis is used by anyone who wants to determine the composition structural integrity of their concrete—often, prior to the repair or renovation of a structure. We are typically hired by individuals such as general contractors, structural engineers, and commercial building owners.
Equipment Used in Holistic Concrete Structural Analysis
To get a full picture of the structure of a concrete slab, here is some of the equipment used by Enhanced Scanning:
- Single channel and arrayed ground penetrating radar (GPR)
- Ultrasonics
- Eddy current
- Rebound hammer instruments
