Wall Scanning

Wall scanning is a non-destructive testing technique used in structure repair works to identify the location of steel reinforcement and other objects embedded within concrete or masonry walls. The purpose of wall scanning is to determine the exact location of objects within the wall, such as reinforcing bars or conduits, without the need to physically cut into the wall. This information is vital in planning and executing repair works, as it helps ensure that the repair work is done precisely and accurately.

The process of wall scanning involves using specialized equipment that sends electromagnetic waves through the wall. These waves bounce back when they hit objects within the wall, creating a detailed image of the internal structure of the wall. This image can then be analyzed by experienced technicians who can interpret the data and determine the precise location of objects within the wall. Wall scanning is a valuable service for structure repair works because it allows contractors to make informed decisions about how to proceed with repairs. By knowing the exact location of objects within the wall, contractors can avoid damaging them during the repair process, ensuring that the wall remains structurally sound and stable.
