GPR Concrete Scanning Windsor | Local Specialist | NDTScan

GPR Concrete Scanning in Windsor and the Thames Valley

Windsor’s built environment spans historic masonry, post-war concrete frames and contemporary commercial development along the A332 corridor through Dedworth and Clewer. NDTScan deploys GSSI SIR 4000 ground-penetrating radar across all of it, from Windsor Great Park maintenance structures and riverside apartment blocks to retail and mixed-use developments in the town centre and along Peascod Street. Where a structural engineer or contractor needs to locate rebar, post-tension cables or embedded services before cutting or coring, our GPR delivers a full structural picture without interrupting the programme.

Ultrasonic Testing and UPV Surveys in Eton, Old Windsor and Wraysbury

Across Eton, Old Windsor, Wraysbury, Horton and Staines-upon-Thames the stock of older reinforced concrete is extensive. Schools, riverside apartments, commercial warehouses and civic buildings all carry concrete elements requiring periodic condition assessment. NDTScan uses the Proceq Pundit PL-200 ultrasonic pulse velocity system to evaluate concrete integrity with no surface damage, working to BS EN 12504 and producing reports suited to structural assessors and insurance surveyors. We have carried out UPV surveys on structures along the Bath Road, the M4 junction corridors and civic buildings throughout the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.

Compressive Strength Testing in Windsor

When visual inspection raises questions about concrete quality, whether from age, environmental exposure or uncertain original specification, NDTScan performs compressive strength assessment using the Olympus 38DL Plus and integrated rebound hammer methods calibrated against BS EN 13791. Clients in Windsor, Slough and Langley have instructed us following fire damage, flooding and long-term chloride ingress in car parks and basement structures. Results are delivered with full methodology notes suitable for professional indemnity purposes and structural appraisal sign-off.

RAAC Identification and Assessment in Windsor and Berkshire

Reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete remains a live concern in local authority and educational estates throughout Berkshire. NDTScan’s RAAC identification service follows IStructE guidance and DLUHC protocols, using GPR and ultrasonic methods to distinguish RAAC from dense concrete and to assess condition. We have attended sites in Windsor, Slough, Bracknell and across the wider SL and RG postcode areas at short notice. Same-day attendance is available from our base, meaning urgent instructions from facilities managers, councils and structural engineers are handled without delay.

Ferroscan and Rebar Detection at Heritage and Listed Structures in Windsor

The Hilti PS Ferroscan is particularly suited to delicate or heritage structures where surface contact must be minimal. Windsor’s listed buildings and conservation area properties often present exactly this requirement. We have used the Ferroscan to map reinforcement in Victorian masonry-encased iron columns, Edwardian concrete balconies and inter-war additions to historic facades, providing clients with CAD-format rebar plots and written condition summaries ready for Building Conservation Officer review.
