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.
