What sets us apart
Clear data for site teams
Interpreted survey findings that help contractors and engineers plan the next stage of work.
Surveys available 7 days a week
Flexible attendance to suit refurbishment, construction and time-sensitive site programmes.
Non-destructive investigation
Understand what is within the concrete without opening up the structure unnecessarily.
Know what you're drilling into before work starts
Drilling or cutting into concrete without knowing what lies beneath the surface can introduce unnecessary risk. Our GPR and concrete scanning surveys in Dartford help identify reinforcement, concealed services, ducts and other embedded features before intrusive work gets under way.
​
Using ground-penetrating radar, we investigate slabs, walls and other reinforced concrete elements without causing avoidable damage. The information can support refurbishment, alterations, coring, fixing and other construction activities where knowing the position of hidden elements matters.
​
ACUO Structural Insights provides interpreted findings rather than leaving you with unexplained scan data. Whether you're working on a commercial property, residential development or active construction site in Dartford, we provide practical information your project team can use. Where the condition of the structure also needs to be assessed, our NDT testing service can provide further non-destructive investigation.

Clear survey findings for engineers and site teams
Better information before concrete is disturbed
A concrete scan is most valuable when the results can be turned into practical decisions on site. We interpret the radar information and present the relevant findings clearly, helping your team understand where reinforcement and other concealed features are likely to be located.
​
This can be particularly useful when alterations are planned in existing buildings, where original drawings may be incomplete or the construction beneath the surface is uncertain. By investigating first, contractors can plan drilling, penetrations and other works with a clearer understanding of the structure.
​
We support projects throughout Dartford and the surrounding Kent area, providing non-invasive investigation for both straightforward and more complex structures. If your project also involves excavation or uncertainty around underground services, our utility surveys can provide additional information before ground is broken.
