Mobile Laser Scanning
Laser scanners carried on the move record roads, corridors and built assets as measured 3D data.
Concrete Scanning in Australia
We locate reinforcement, conduits and post-tension cables before anyone cuts, cores or drills.

Clear Data for Better Project Decisions
At UDM, we provide concrete scanning in Australia to help project teams understand what may be embedded within slabs, walls and floors before intrusive work begins. Ground penetrating radar can identify reinforcement, post-tension cables, conduits, pipes and other internal features without destructive investigation. We use the scan data to support decisions around cutting, coring, drilling and structural assessment. The survey approach depends on the concrete element, access and the information required, so we establish the scope before fieldwork begins. For broader subsurface investigations beyond the concrete structure, our ground penetrating radar service can extend the investigation. Call (03) 6171 2555 to discuss the area to be scanned and the planned works.
How Our Concrete Scanning Service Works
Concrete scanning gives project teams information to consider before intrusive work starts. GPR can indicate reinforcing steel and help establish its arrangement within a concrete element. Scanning can help identify post-tension cable positions before cutting, drilling or coring is planned. Embedded electrical conduits and water services may be visible within the radar response. Radar data can also support investigation of changes within or beneath concrete where further assessment is required.
Common questions
- What can concrete scanning locate?
- GPR concrete scanning can indicate reinforcement, post-tension cables, conduits, pipes and other embedded features. The response depends on the structure, target arrangement and access available for scanning.
- Why scan concrete before cutting or drilling?
- Scanning provides information about hidden elements before intrusive work begins. That information can help teams plan proposed penetrations with greater awareness of embedded features.
- Is concrete scanning destructive?
- GPR scanning collects information from the accessible surface without opening the concrete. Physical verification may still be used separately if a project requires confirmation of a particular feature.
Other services
Projects often need more than one method. Explore the rest of our capability, or contact our team to discuss a combined scope.
Surveying & Spatial
Our surveyors set the control, levels and measured detail that design and construction work relies on.
Reality Capture
Laser scanning records a structure or site as measurable three-dimensional data.
UAV / LiDAR
Aerial capture records terrain, stockpiles and assets that are difficult to reach from the ground.
Ground Penetrating Radar
Our radar traces buried services, voids and structural features before a project breaks ground.
Utility Locating
Electromagnetic locating and radar help identify buried services before excavation or design starts.
CCTV Pipe Inspections
A camera run through a pipe or drain shows the condition of the line from the inside.
