If you are doing renovations or additions to your home or building, it is likely that you might need to engage the services of a company that does slab scan in Sydney. Any cutting, drilling or coring of concrete slabs should only be done after the concrete is scanned with ground penetrating radar (GPR).
Without scanning first, hidden features like pipes and tension cables within the slabs can damage tools or cause injuries to the operators. GPR gives the equipment operators comprehensive information so they can avoid those types of issues.
Further, slab scanning can give the workers information about voids, missing reinforcement and load bearing capacities. Typically, the information that would be given to the engineers would be slab depth, reinforcement patterns and location, size and type of reinforcements, and the position of footings and beams.
Having full information before cutting into any concrete slab is imperative; not only will it save the company money, but also avoid worker injuries as well.
