Ferro Scanning Sussex

At Subvision, we specialise in ferro scanning services across Sussex, offering highly accurate and non-destructive surveys for construction and engineering projects. Whether you’re working on a renovation, excavation, or new build, our team provides reliable detection and mapping of ferrous and non-ferrous materials embedded in concrete structures.

Why Choose Ferro Scanning?

Ferro scanning is essential for identifying reinforcing bars, post-tension cables, and other embedded objects without causing damage to the structure. By pinpointing the exact locations of these materials, you can avoid costly errors, ensure structural integrity, and maintain compliance with safety standards.

Our Expertise in Sussex

With extensive experience serving clients in Sussex, Subvision delivers efficient and precise scanning solutions tailored to your project’s unique requirements. We use advanced scanning equipment to deliver detailed data, enabling informed decision-making at every stage of your project.

Our surveyors scan the concrete surface using GPR, recording variations in the radar signal as it passes through the structure. Reinforcement produces a distinct signal response compared to the surrounding concrete, allowing us to map its position and depth accurately. Results are marked directly on site, giving your team a clear, immediate reference for exactly where it’s safe to drill, cut or core, and where reinforcement needs to be avoided or accounted for.

Reinforcement that’s too close to the surface, or a cover depth that doesn’t match what the original design specified, can indicate a structure isn’t performing as intended, sometimes due to poor original construction, sometimes due to deterioration over time. Identifying this before structural work begins gives engineers accurate information to assess a structure’s condition, rather than working from assumptions based on the building’s age or design drawings that may no longer reflect what’s actually there.
