What sets us apart
20 years' site experience
Specialist knowledge developed through practical structural investigation and survey work.
Available 7 days a week
Flexible site attendance for planned works, active projects and changing construction programmes.
Actionable survey findings
Clear interpretation that helps engineers and contractors understand the results and plan what happens next.
Look beneath the surface before work gets intrusive
Drilling, cutting or coring existing concrete can become considerably more complicated when reinforcement and concealed features are not where you expect them to be. Our concrete scanning service in Croydon helps provide a clearer picture before intrusive work begins.
​
We use ground-penetrating radar to investigate suitable slabs, walls and other concrete elements from the accessible surface. This non-destructive approach can help locate reinforcement and identify other relevant embedded features without first opening up the structure to find them.
​
From refurbishment and redevelopment to individual structural alterations, ACUO Structural Insights provides interpreted survey information that can be used by the wider project team. Our focus is on turning the investigation into useful findings rather than simply supplying raw scanning data. If there are wider questions about cracking, defects or structural behaviour, our structural investigations can help establish what may be happening.
What our Croydon concrete surveys can help with

Locate reinforcement before intrusive works
-
Investigate proposed drilling and coring positions
-
Identify detectable features concealed in concrete
-
Support refurbishment and redevelopment planning
-
Reduce unnecessary opening-up of existing structures
-
Provide information for commercial and residential work
-
Deliver interpreted findings for project teams
More certainty for refurbishment and redevelopment
Existing buildings often change considerably during their lifetime. Previous alterations, incomplete drawings and hidden construction details can all make it harder to know exactly what will be encountered when new work begins.
​
Concrete scanning provides another layer of information before your team commits to penetrations or alterations. By surveying accessible areas with GPR, we can identify relevant subsurface features and present the findings in a way that supports planning by contractors, engineers and site managers.
​
We provide scanning for projects across Croydon, from commercial premises and residential buildings to active construction and redevelopment sites. Whether you are preparing for a small number of penetrations or investigating a larger area before significant alterations, the survey can be tailored around the information required. Where excavation forms part of the project, our utility surveys can also help identify buried services before ground works start.
