What sets us apart
Specialist scanning knowledge
Experienced investigation of reinforced concrete for contractors, engineers and property professionals.
Available 7 days a week
Flexible attendance to help surveys fit around active sites, planned works and changing project schedules.
Practical survey results
Clearly interpreted findings that can be used when planning drilling, cutting, coring and alterations.
Reduce the unknowns before drilling into concrete
A proposed hole or penetration may look straightforward until reinforcement or another concealed feature gets in the way. Finding out more about the concrete beforehand can help your team approach intrusive works with better information and avoid discovering important features only after drilling or cutting has begun.
​
ACUO Structural Insights provides GPR concrete scanning in Basildon for commercial, residential, construction and refurbishment projects. Ground-penetrating radar allows suitable concrete slabs, walls and other elements to be investigated from the accessible surface, keeping the initial survey non-destructive.
​
We use the survey data to identify relevant subsurface features and provide interpreted findings for the project team. This can support decisions around drilling positions, proposed openings, service routes and other alterations to existing concrete. Where the project calls for broader testing of structural condition or concrete performance, our NDT testing can provide additional evidence without unnecessary damage.

Survey information that helps keep work moving
Unexpected conditions in existing concrete can interrupt even carefully planned projects. Reinforcement layouts may differ from assumptions, records may be incomplete, or previous changes to a building may make the available information less reliable.
​
GPR scanning provides a way to investigate the actual structure in the area where work is proposed. By collecting and interpreting radar data before intrusive activity begins, we can provide additional information that your team can consider alongside drawings, specifications and engineering requirements.
​
We support projects throughout Basildon and the surrounding Essex area, including commercial buildings, residential properties, construction sites and refurbishment schemes. Our aim is to provide relevant findings early enough to help with planning rather than allowing hidden conditions to become a problem once work is under way. If excavation or external ground works are also part of your project, our utility surveys can help locate buried services before digging starts.
