Proceq

NDTScan operates an extensive suite of Proceq instruments for structural assessment, concrete inspection, and rebar mapping. As one of the most comprehensive and portable NDT tool brands, Proceq allows us to detect flaws, measure strength, locate reinforcement, and analyse material quality non-invasively, with instant reporting capabilities.

From Schmidt rebound hammers to ultrasonic pulse velocity and electromagnetic cover meters, Proceq tools form the backbone of our concrete condition surveys.

Continuous Innovation in Portable NDT

Proceq’s mobile-first hardware and app ecosystem enable field-to-cloud workflows, real-time interpretation, and careful multi-modal scanning, supporting fast mobilisation and credible data capture across projects of all sizes.

Our Proceq NDT Instrumentation

• Proceq GPR Live (GP8800, GP8100, GP8000): Ground-penetrating radar units with advanced 3D visualisation, depth calibration, and dual-polarisation antennas, used for locating rebar, PT cables, and voids within concrete.
• Proceq Pundit Live Array Pro: Ultrasonic pulse echo system for defect mapping and material evaluation. Allows 2D and 3D imaging of internal flaws, delaminations, and honeycombing without coring.
• Proceq Profometer 650 AI: Industry-leading cover meter and corrosion analysis tool used to assess rebar location, spacing, and concrete cover in real time.
• Proceq Schmidt Live Rebound Hammer: Modern version of the classic strength testing hammer, delivers real-time digital outputs aligned to EN and ASTM standards.
• Proceq App Suite & Logbook Integration: All devices feed into a central data platform for live reporting, image annotation, and structured condition logs.

Why We Use Proceq

Proceq tools are compact, fast to deploy, and ideal for internal inspections or when access is limited. Their live display outputs and data-rich analysis capabilities reduce ambiguity and boost reporting confidence for engineers, developers, and contractors.

Other Tools Considered

For extended GPR applications, we also use GSSI and Mala systems. But for handheld, multi-modal NDT in concrete, Proceq remains our primary toolset.

Portable Concrete NDT UK Solutions That Deliver Fast, Reliable Results

At NDTScan, we deploy a powerful suite of portable concrete NDT UK tools to assess material quality, detect internal flaws, and verify embedded reinforcement, all without destructive testing. Our handheld and wireless-enabled instruments are used to support structural assessments, concrete inspections, and compliance verification across a wide range of projects, from car parks and tunnels to building façades and transport infrastructure.

By combining radar, ultrasound, rebound, and electromagnetic methods, we help contractors, engineers, and asset managers understand the real condition of concrete structures, quickly, safely, and with full digital traceability.

Our systems are built around mobility, live data capture, and high-resolution imaging, ensuring we can deliver actionable insights during the site visit itself, without waiting on lab results or delayed post-processing.

Designed for Field Use on Complex Sites

Concrete inspections often take place in tight, busy, or partially finished environments. Our instruments are compact, battery-powered, and app-driven, designed specifically to operate in confined or restricted-access zones such as:

• Lift shafts and stairwells

• Underside slab inspections and soffits

• Heritage buildings and retrofit sites

• Rail platforms and tunnel linings

• Internal walls, balconies, and bridge decks

This mobility allows our team to work faster, cover more ground in a single shift, and reduce disruption to live or partially occupied sites.

Multi-Modal Scanning for Total Condition Understanding

Each survey is configured using a blended sensor approach, based on the goals of the inspection, whether it’s cover depth verification, delamination detection, strength estimation, or defect investigation.

Our typical toolkit includes:

GPR Systems with 3D Visualisation

These radar units offer dual-polarisation capabilities and real-time 3D outputs, allowing us to detect:

• Rebar and post-tensioning cables

• Embedded conduits and services

• Voids, honeycombing, and anomalies

• Slab and beam thickness variations

Ideal for core avoidance, cut planning, or reinforcement layout verification, they provide instant scan results on a mobile display, reducing on-site ambiguity and speeding up decision-making.

Ultrasonic Pulse Echo and Velocity Devices

We use advanced ultrasonic systems to map internal defects and check material integrity, especially useful where visual indicators are absent. These tools detect:

• Delaminations and voids

• Internal cracking or segregation

• Honeycombing and poor consolidation

• Layer separation in complex concrete builds

These systems support both 2D profile scanning and 3D defect mapping, offering an alternative to coring in structural diagnosis and restoration planning.

Rebar Locators and Cover Meters

Our high-accuracy electromagnetic sensors are used to locate:

• Reinforcement position and spacing

• Concrete cover thickness

• Multi-layer reinforcement arrangements

• Rebar corrosion zones (in advanced models)

This data helps verify compliance with EN 1992 and BS 8500 requirements and supports pre-fitout inspections where drilling or fixings are proposed.

Rebound Hammer Testing

We use modern, connected rebound hammers to estimate compressive strength across slabs, beams, and wall elements. Fully digital and standards-aligned, they allow:

• Spot testing for material consistency

• Quick checks before load testing or intrusive works

• Surface condition evaluation prior to coatings or overlays

• Reference values for QA in precast and in-situ concrete

Test results are logged automatically, enabling fast condition categorisation across multiple areas in a single session.

Live Data, Centralised Reporting, and Digital Workflows

All tools feed directly into a unified data platform that enables technicians to log, annotate, and report results in real time. This ecosystem includes:

• Automatic scan logging with GPS referencing (where applicable)

• Defect tagging and structural observations with photographs

• Export to PDF, CSV, DXF, and BIM-ready formats

• Central cloud backup and report syncing for multi-site projects

This ensures our survey data is immediately available to stakeholders, whether for further engineering analysis, contractor briefing, or inclusion in structural safety reports.

Supporting Diverse Clients and Applications

We apply portable concrete NDT UK tools across a wide variety of inspection scenarios, including:

• Condition surveys of ageing concrete infrastructure

• Structural health assessments for commercial buildings

• Heritage restoration inspections with non-invasive methods

• Bridge deck and tunnel lining scanning

• Slab verification before core drilling, anchor fixing, or demolition

• Quality control during construction and pre-handover checks

Clients include developers, contractors, asset owners, insurance assessors, housing associations, and local authorities, all seeking clear, fast, and professional inspection data that supports confident decision-making.

Why Portable NDT Reduces Risk and Saves Time

Our mobile inspection methods offer key advantages over traditional approaches:

• No coring, no cutting, no damage to structure

• Rapid mobilisation and fast scanning rates

• Clear outputs that reduce guesswork and uncertainty

• Immediate results that can be shared on-site or remotely

• Low disruption to surrounding finishes or operational activity

In critical environments such as hospitals, transport hubs, or heritage structures, these benefits are essential for safe and compliant working.
