Rebar location and mapping survey will determine the exact location of reinforcement within concrete.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is an ideal technology for reinforcement steel location and rebar mapping. Please note that for this type of service, you can also come across names such as rebar survey or GPR rebar scanning.

In GPR rebar mapping, Ground Penetrating Radar will determine reinforcing steel location but also the locations of reinforcement bars made of fibre reinforced polymer; named after the material used, fibre reinforced polymer-FRP rebar.

Except rebar distribution (spacing and depth of the different rebar layers), rebar survey will also verify rebar diameters and concrete cover thickness.

For more in depth information about concrete slab, like finding out overall slab thickness or detecting other features within concrete including post tension cables, conduits, ducts, and voids you should request concrete imaging survey. Concrete scanning is used to produce highly detailed images at the specific locations which will also include information about rebar arrangement.
