Berkshire's GPR Ferro Scanning Experts

Ferro scan

Make sure there is no chance of you drilling through important pipework, utility services or structural supports by having accurate and affordable GRP ferro scanning undertaken by Berkshire's professionals at Southern Drilling. 

Working throughout the South East and the Home Counties, including Berkshire, we utilise the most effective and accurate Proceq and Ground Penetrating Radar scanning equipment on the market today, the GP8000 and GP8800, to ensure that you know every hidden detail and aspect of the structure before any coring, drilling or design work takes place.

Before undertaking any structural or drilling changes, it is incredibly important that you know exactly where important structural features or pipework reinforcements are located, along with utility services. Our accurate and high quality GPR Proceq scanning equipment will tell you exactly that. Able to quickly locate and identify all kinds of objects in pavements, natural ground, cured concrete and bridge decks, our GPR scanning equipment means you can be safe in the knowledge that you are nowhere near vital pipework, structural supports or utility services.

HOW WILL GPR FERRO SCANNING BENEFIT YOU?

Put simply, if you know exactly what is in the wall, slab, ground or column and where it is located, you will avoid hitting any pipework, steel reinforcing, structural supports or services. This prevention method is absolutely vital in making sure that costs are kept to an absolute minimum and the health and safety of all involved is prioritised.

HOW DOES THE GPR FERRO SCAN WORK?

Utilising pulse technology, the GP8800 and GP8000, manufactured by industry experts Proceq, detects anything in the required wall, ground or slab area and provides expert data analysis, evaluation and report generation that is visible both in the field, including a rotatable 3D image post can on an iPad, raw data view or a 3D augmented reality view. This will also include a fully generated report that is sent back to the office. Downloaded information can then be used to create detailed documents with data and diagrams for analysis by our GPR engineers in real time.
