Locate Rebar
Concrete scanning can help identify reinforcement locations so proposed drilling or cutting positions can be reviewed before work starts.
Useful for
Planning openings around known reinforcement.

Why Scan Concrete?
Know What May Be Inside Before Cutting
Existing concrete can contain reinforcement, conduits, pipes and other embedded elements that are not visible from the surface. Scanning can provide information that helps the project team evaluate a proposed drilling or cutting location before work begins.
Check Embedded Elements
Scanning may help identify possible embedded services and other subsurface features before a concrete surface is modified.
Useful for
Pre-drilling and pre-cutting checks.
Review Proposed Locations
Scan information can be considered alongside drawings and project requirements when deciding where an opening should be created.
Useful for
Concrete modification planning.
Investigate Existing Concrete
Scanning can be useful where the internal arrangement of an existing concrete member is not fully known from available drawings.
Useful for
Renovation and retrofit projects.
Before Drilling or Cutting
Scanning Comes Before the Concrete Work
When a new opening is proposed in an existing concrete structure, the cutting contractor should not be the only consideration. The project should first establish whether the proposed location is suitable.
Mark the proposed opening
Identify the exact area where drilling, coring, sawing or another modification is planned.
Identify reinforcement
Reinforcement can influence where an opening can be placed and should be considered as part of the project planning process.
Look for embedded services
Electrical conduits, pipes and other embedded elements may affect the suitability of the proposed cutting or drilling location.
Compare the scan with project information
Scan findings should be considered together with drawings, structural information and other available project documentation.
Confirm the final drilling position
The responsible project team should confirm the final location before concrete drilling or cutting proceeds.
Use the findings appropriately
Scanning is an investigative aid and does not replace structural engineering, approved drawings or required site controls.
Scanning Applications
When Concrete Scanning Is Useful
Concrete scanning is particularly valuable before work that penetrates or modifies an existing concrete surface.
Before Core Drilling
Check the proposed location before creating circular openings for pipes, conduits, anchors or other installations.

What Scanning Can Tell You
Understand the Concrete Before Modification
The purpose of scanning is to provide useful information about concealed features in the area being investigated. The exact information available depends on the scanning method, concrete condition and site circumstances.
Reinforcement location
Scanning can help identify reinforcement patterns and locations in the area being investigated.
Possible embedded services
Depending on the equipment and conditions, scanning may help locate possible pipes, conduits or other subsurface features.
Potential conflicts
Information from the scan can help the project team identify potential conflicts between a proposed opening and concealed features.
Better drilling decisions
Scan information can help determine whether the proposed location should be reviewed before drilling or cutting begins.
Scanning & Cutting
Scanning Does Not Replace the Cutting Service
Scanning and concrete cutting solve different parts of the project. Scanning investigates the concrete; drilling or sawing creates the required opening after the project team has determined that the location is suitable.
Concrete Scanning
Investigates the proposed work area for reinforcement and possible embedded features before modification.
Purpose
Pre-cutting investigation and planning.
Core Cutting
Creates circular openings for suitable pipes, conduits and other service penetrations.

FAQ
Concrete Scanning Dubai FAQ
What is concrete scanning used for?
Concrete scanning is used to investigate an existing concrete area before drilling, coring, sawing or other modification. It can help identify reinforcement and possible embedded services or other subsurface features.
Why scan concrete before drilling?
Existing concrete may contain reinforcement, conduits, pipes and other concealed elements. Scanning can provide information that helps the project team review the proposed drilling location before work begins.
Can concrete scanning find rebar?
Concrete scanning can help identify and map reinforcement in the area investigated, depending on the scanning method and site conditions.
Can concrete scanning find pipes and electrical conduits?
Depending on the equipment and concrete conditions, scanning may help identify possible embedded pipes, conduits and other subsurface features.
Do I need scanning before core cutting?
Scanning can be useful before core cutting where the internal condition of the concrete is uncertain or where reinforcement and embedded services need to be considered.
Do I need scanning before wall sawing?
Scanning can be considered before larger wall cuts to help investigate the proposed cutting area and identify possible concealed features.
Does scanning replace structural approval?
No. Scanning is an investigative aid. It does not replace structural engineering, approved drawings, required permits or other project controls.
Where do you provide concrete scanning services?
Al Khalifa Equipment Rental LLC is based in Al Quoz, Dubai, and can arrange concrete scanning work across Dubai subject to site conditions and the agreed service arrangement.
