What sets us apart
Commercial scanning expertise
Practical survey support for offices, high-rise buildings, fit-outs and complex construction environments.
Flexible 7-day surveys
Attendance that can be coordinated with demanding programmes, access windows and other contractors.
Detailed survey reporting
Interpreted findings that give engineers and project teams useful information for the next stage of work.
Check reinforced concrete before penetrations are made
Modern commercial buildings can contain complex reinforcement arrangements alongside services and other embedded features. When new penetrations, fixings or openings are required, investigating the concrete first can help your team understand what may be encountered beneath the surface.
​
ACUO Structural Insights provides GPR and concrete scanning across Canary Wharf for refurbishment, fit-out and construction projects. Ground-penetrating radar allows us to investigate accessible concrete non-destructively and identify relevant subsurface features without breaking into the structure simply to establish what is there.
​
The resulting information can support decisions around proposed drilling, coring, cutting and service installations. Rather than handing over unexplained radar data, we interpret the survey findings and communicate them clearly for contractors, engineers and other project stakeholders. When more extensive assessment of the concrete or structure is required, our NDT testing can provide additional non-destructive evidence.

-
Provide clear interpreted survey findings
Useful data for complex commercial buildings
Alterations in high-rise and heavily serviced buildings often require careful coordination. A proposed penetration may appear straightforward from the surface, but reinforcement and other concealed elements can affect how and where the work should proceed.
​
GPR scanning provides a non-invasive way to investigate accessible areas before those decisions are finalised. Our surveys can help build a clearer picture of subsurface conditions and provide information that can be considered alongside drawings, engineering requirements and the proposed scope of works.
​
We work with project teams carrying out office modifications, building upgrades, plant installations, service alterations and wider refurbishment works in Canary Wharf. Our focus is on delivering practical survey information that supports decision-making while keeping disruption to the existing structure to a minimum. For projects where underground services also need to be established, our utility surveys can provide further information before excavation or external works begin.
