Concrete Scanning in Wollongong
A non-destructive survey that helps identify embedded features before cutting or drilling.
Best fit
When concrete scanning may fit
The provider selects the final method only after the proposed work, concrete, access and risk controls are understood.
- Checking a proposed core location before drilling
- Mapping reinforcement patterns around a new opening
- Reducing uncertainty around conduits, pipes or post-tensioning
- Supporting a permit or engineering review with site observations
Method and limits
Method, access and limitations
Concrete scanning can indicate embedded features within the capability of the selected technology and site conditions. Results require interpretation and should be combined with drawings, visual checks and project controls. A scan is not a guarantee that every hazard has been found, and it does not authorise structural changes.
Treat dimensions as planning inputs until the actual structure, access and work conditions are checked. Engineering, service-location, permit and site-safety requirements still apply.
Details
Details to share with Jackie
The clearer the scope information, the more usefully we can connect your enquiry with a vetted local provider. These details help distinguish a straightforward cutting task from work that needs scanning, engineering, lifting, isolation or another specialist input.
- Provide the proposed cut or hole locations before scanning begins
- Clear the surface so the scanner can make consistent contact
- Share drawings and known service routes for comparison
- Agree how results will be marked, recorded and handed to the cutting team

Cost drivers
What changes the scope of a concrete scanning enquiry
These drivers help explain why one scanning enquiry is simpler than another. They are not a price list.
| Job feature | Why it changes the scope | Useful detail to share |
|---|---|---|
| Survey area | A few marked penetrations differ from mapping a broad slab or wall | Number of locations and approximate scan area |
| Surface access | Finishes, obstructions, moisture and tight corners can limit coverage | Photos of the actual scanning surface |
| Concrete depth and build-up | Technology has practical depth and resolution limits | Known thickness and layer information |
| Feature density | Congested reinforcement or multiple services take longer to interpret | Drawings or earlier scan records |
| Mark-up and reporting | On-surface marks, photos and formal records have different scope | Required deliverable and project format |
| Site controls and timing | Occupied areas, permits and shutdowns can affect attendance | Access window and induction requirements |
This is cost-driver guidance, not a quote. The preferred provider confirms scope, inclusions and any applicable GST before work is agreed.

Concrete Scanning questions
What can concrete scanning find?
Depending on the technology and conditions, scanning may indicate reinforcement, conduits, pipes, voids or other embedded features. It cannot guarantee detection of every material or hazard.
Does scanning replace service plans?
No. It should be used with available drawings, service-location information, permits and visual investigation.
Can scanning confirm whether a wall is safe to cut?
Scanning can inform the decision, but it does not provide structural approval. An engineer or other responsible project professional may need to assess the proposed alteration.
