Overview

NDTScan operates regularly across Swindon and the wider Wiltshire area. Our Oxford base puts us 30 to 40 minutes from most Swindon sites, and same-day attendance is available for virtually all concrete scanning and NDT requirements in the area.

Swindon is one of England’s most significant post-war planned expansion towns. The volume of 1960s to 1990s concrete construction, combined with a major commercial and distribution hub on the M4 corridor and an active town centre regeneration programme, produces a wide range of concrete scanning and structural NDT demands.

The concentration of distribution and logistics facilities along the M4 corridor provides consistent work in large floor plate pre-drill surveys. We carry out racking and mezzanine pre-drill surveys at distribution centres in Swindon, Cirencester Road, Cheney Manor, and the Great Western Way industrial estates where structural penetrations require pre-scan verification.

GPR Concrete Scanning in Swindon

We carry out GPR pre-drill surveys, post-tensioned slab investigations, RAAC identification, and structural scanning across Swindon commercial, industrial, and public sector stock. Our GSSI SIR 4000 and Mala GPR systems produce AutoCAD-compatible rebar and service maps for structural engineers and principal contractors.

RAAC Surveys for Swindon and Wiltshire Councils

Reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) plank identification is a significant part of our Swindon workload. We carry out RAAC surveys for Swindon Borough Council and Wiltshire Council school and public building stock, distinguishing RAAC from standard reinforced concrete using GPR in accordance with IStructE and DLUHC guidance.

Ultrasonic Testing in Swindon

We provide UPV testing with the Proceq Pundit PL-200 across Swindon industrial and commercial stock. UPV surveys for compressive strength estimation, structural quality assessment, and delamination detection are carried out to BS EN 12504 standards.

Compressive Strength Testing at Swindon Sites

Rebound hammer surveys, SONREB combined method assessment, and managed core extraction for Swindon Borough Council, Wiltshire Council, and private sector clients. Results reported to BS EN 13791 for engineering acceptance and building control purposes.

Swindon is one of the most significant post-war planned expansion towns in England. The combination of large volumes of 1960s to 1990s concrete construction, a major commercial and distribution hub on the M4 corridor, and an active regeneration programme in the town centre creates a varied and substantial market for concrete scanning and structural NDT.

NDTScan is based in Oxford, making Swindon one of our closest and most regularly visited locations at 30 to 40 minutes by road. Same-day mobilisation is available for virtually all Swindon and Wiltshire projects. The high concentration of distribution and logistics facilities along the M4 corridor provides consistent demand for large floor plate pre-drill surveys. We work alongside structural engineers, principal contractors, and facilities managers across the Swindon area on a regular basis.

Swindon also has distinctive mid-century commercial stock from major employers and a significant public sector built estate. The Swindon town centre regeneration programme involves pre-demolition structural assessments and new development scanning alongside the demolition of former commercial sites. RAAC surveys for Swindon Borough Council and Wiltshire Council school and public building stock are a regular part of our Swindon workload.
