Precision Concrete Scanning & Mapping

At the heart of Swantest’s services lies ferroscan technology, a reliable method of identifying the presence, depth and orientation of steel reinforcement within concrete. This is critical for maintaining safety, avoiding costly damage and ensuring compliance with design and building standards.

Before commencing intrusive work such as drilling or structural alterations, a ferroscan survey provides a detailed map of reinforcement layouts, highlighting safe zones and potential hazards. This allows contractors and engineers to work with assurance, avoiding accidental strikes to reinforcement bars, post-tension cables or embedded conduits.

Unlike invasive testing methods, ferroscan technology is non-destructive, ensuring the structure remains intact while delivering high-resolution data. Each survey is tailored to project requirements and Swantest’s team provides clear reports and marked drawings that guide construction activity with accuracy.

Beyond Reinforcement Detection: Comprehensive Applications


Swantest’s scanning services extend beyond simple reinforcement location. Their expertise and technology have been applied across a wide range of structural challenges, including:

  • Mapping reinforcement prior to structural alterations, drilling or coring
  • Locating post-tension cables to prevent damage during refurbishment
  • Identifying voids or honeycombing within concrete sections
  • Verifying cover depth to meet durability and fire resistance requirements
  • Assessing slab integrity in aging or repurposed structures
  • Supporting structural engineers with reliable on-site data for design validation

This versatility underlines Swantest’s role as a trusted partner in delivering safe, efficient and technically sound solutions for construction and civil engineering projects.
