Concrete scanning is a process that allows us to find out the condition of concrete structures and determine how much they will last. It can be used on existing or future building projects, which use many different types of materials in their construction.
When we scan these objects with X-rays, it reveals any cracks or other damage through an image showing where these are located inside the object itself. The process involves transmitting ultrasonic waves into the material to be scanned, followed by collecting them at different points on its surface.
This technique has been shown capable in not only identifying areas prone to localized structural failures, but also predicting their likely behavior under load conditions, saving time where a physical inspection would otherwise have taken place.
Post tension cables are used in concrete slabs to provide strength reducing the need for high volumes of steel. It’s for this reason that damage to post-tensioned cables needs to be eliminated, as they form a crucial part of maintaining suspended slab integrity and strength.
Live electrical cables can cause serious injury to service personnel if drilled or cut through. If a cable is damaged, it may seem safe when first pierced but become live at a later stage causing severe injuries and even death.
Cutting or drilling through these cables is both dangerous and damaging to the structural integrity of concrete structures. Doing so can cause injury and damaged equipment, as well as negatively affect a structure’s stability.
Concrete scanning will determine if any PT wires have sustained excessive stress or become damaged. It will also help us avoid accidentally damaging any electrical cables which can be very dangerous.

For our sawing services, we use specialised, heavy duty industrial equipment such as the ring saw, hand saw, wire saw, diamond demolition saw blades etc. to cut concrete or steel according to your sawing and drilling needs.
We use hand sawing for a thin concrete job, especially useful in tight spots. Our ring saws are used for cutting through thick girders, beams and reinforced concrete slabs.
Many professionals in the construction industry use concrete slab sawing as an alternative to jack hammers or chisels, since it has less of an impact on surrounding structures than traditional methods.
When it comes to concrete cutting, wire sawing is one of the most popular methods. This technique starts by first inserting a diamond-impregnated cable of wire through or around an object and then pulling that same line out from its primary unit in order for tension to be applied across the surface being cut.
The wire sawing method can cut through the virtually unlimited thickness of concrete with precise results. It is a cleaner and more efficient process than traditional methods for cutting structures that are thick or large in size. The endless loop system allows the machine to cut without stopping, which saves time and money on material costs as well as labour.
The biggest advantage of using a wire sawing method for concrete cutting is that the slabs are cut into millimetre-sized pieces as opposed to the larger blocks or broken chunks from traditional methods of breaking concrete. This allows for specific sizing requirements and applications, like getting crushed materials to be used in construction projects that require precise measurements.
