Folkestone's GPR Ferro Scanning Specialists

Ferro scan

Avoid potentially drilling through important structural supports, utility services or pipework at your Folkestone premises by having professional and accurate GPR ferro scanning undertaken by the experts at Southern Drilling. 

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

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

Regardless where you are based across Kent and the South East, including Folkestone, arrange your FREE survey and no obligation ferro scan quotation at your convenience today; simply call our experienced GPR ferro scanning team on 01474 822785.

HOW WILL GPR FERRO SCANNING BENEFIT YOU?

Put simply, if you know exactly what is in the slab, ground, column or wall and where it is located, you will avoid hitting any pipework, structural supports, steel reinforcing or services. This prevention method is absolutely vital in ensuring 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 GP8000, manufactured by industry specialists Proceq, detects anything in the required wall, slab or ground area and provides expert data analysis, report generation and evaluation that is visible in the field, including a rotatable 3D image post scan 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 diagrams and data for analysis by our GPR engineers in real time.
