Concrete Scanning in Dubai and UAE
Concrete Scanning
We provide concrete scanning in Dubai and across the UAE to locate embedded elements before drilling, coring, cutting, or anchor installation. Using Hilti scanning technology, we help contractors and consultants reduce the risk of hitting rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, or embed plates—supporting safer, faster site work and fewer costly incidents.
Rebar Mapping
We map reinforcing steel within concrete elements to support safe drilling and accurate structural coordination. This is commonly needed for renovations, MEP installations, façade works, and fit-out projects where anchors and penetrations must avoid reinforcement.
Rebar mapping helps teams plan fixing points, core locations, and cutting lines with confidence, especially on slabs and walls where rebar density is high. It also supports quality checks when reinforcement layout is uncertain.
Deliverables can include marked scan areas, annotated findings, and clear references for site execution.
PT Cable Checks
We perform post-tension (PT) cable checks to reduce the risk of striking stressed tendons during coring or cutting. This is critical in many Dubai/UAE buildings where PT slabs are common and mistakes are high-impact.
PT checks support safe routing for MEP penetrations, core drilling, and slab modifications during renovations and fit-outs. They help define feasible zones and guide method statements before work starts.
Outputs include PT indications within scanned areas and practical guidance for safe execution planning.
Embed Detection
We detect embedded items such as conduits, pipes, sleeves, and embed plates within concrete to prevent clashes and avoid damage during modifications. This is especially useful for retrofit work where documentation is missing or site changes have occurred over time.
Embed detection supports coordination between trades and helps confirm whether planned penetrations or fixings are viable. It also reduces rework caused by unexpected internal obstructions.
Deliverables typically include annotated scan results and location references for contractors and consultants.
Safe Drill Zones
We define safe drill zones for anchors, fixings, and core holes based on scan results, helping teams avoid critical elements. This is widely used in Dubai/UAE fit-out and MEP works where many penetrations are required on tight schedules.
Safe zones improve safety and speed by reducing trial-and-error drilling and limiting the need for destructive verification. They also help teams align with consultant requirements before approvals or inspections.
We provide marked-up drawings or on-site marking support, depending on scope.
Cutting Markup
We support cutting and demolition planning by marking safe cutting lines and restricted areas based on scan findings. This is important for slab openings, trenching, saw cutting, and controlled demolition where embedded risks must be managed.
Cutting markup reduces accidental strikes, avoids sudden stoppages, and supports clearer coordination between demolition and follow-on trades. It also helps prepare method statements and risk controls.
Outputs include marked-up plans and practical execution guidance aligned to the scanned areas and project references.
