What is Rebar Scanning?

Rebar scanning (rebar detection) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique used to locate, map, and assess the position, depth, and diameter of steel reinforcement bars (rebars) embedded in concrete structures. This is typically carried out using advanced equipment such as ground-penetrating radar (GPR) or electromagnetic cover meters, enabling accurate inspection without damaging the concrete.

Benefits of Rebar Scanning
Non-destructive: No need to cut, drill, or alter the structure.
Accurate Mapping: Determines exact position, depth, and spacing of rebars.
Safety: Prevents accidental cutting or damaging of reinforcement and post-tension cables during drilling or coring.
Quality Assurance: Ensures as-built reinforcement complies with design specifications.
Reduces Costs and Delays: Minimizes rework and structural repairs.

Applications
Locating rebars before core drilling, cutting, or anchoring.
Assessing reinforcement in bridges, tunnels, slabs, beams, and columns.
Verification of reinforcement layout in renovation and strengthening projects.
Detection of post-tension cables, conduits, or embedded utilities in concrete.
Condition assessment and repair planning for existing structures.
Quality control in construction and forensic engineering investigations.

Relevant Standards
ASTM E336: Standard Test Method for GPR Testing in Concrete
BS EN 17624: Non-destructive Testing – Covermeters for Reinforcing Bar Detection
ACI 228.2R: Nondestructive Test Methods for Evaluation of Concrete Structures
DIN 1045: Concrete and Reinforced Concrete Standards (relevant to cover measurement)

The Impact of Concrete Permeability on Durability

In the field of concrete engineering, durability is defined as the ability of a concrete structure to resist weathering action, chemical attack, abrasion, and other deterioration processes throughout its intended service life. While compressive strength has historically been the primary measure of concrete quality, modern standards, particularly those from the American Concrete Institute (ACI) and ASTM International, recognize that permeability is the single most critical property governing long-term durability.

The Critical Role of Grout in Construction and Industry

In the world of construction and heavy industry, success often depends on the smallest details. While massive structures of concrete and steel are visible to all, the unseen materials that connect and support them are what guarantee their long-term stability, performance, and safety. Grout is one of these essential, high-performance materials.
