Coventry is one of the most significant mid-century concrete cities in England. Extensively rebuilt after wartime bomb damage, the city centre was substantially redeveloped in reinforced concrete during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, creating a distinctive built environment that is now subject to active regeneration, heritage assessment, and structural investigation. The combination of large volumes of ageing concrete structures and a significant development programme makes Coventry an important market for concrete scanning and NDT.
NDTScan provides GPR concrete scanning and NDT services across Coventry and Warwickshire, approximately one hour from our Oxford base. We work alongside the principal contractors, structural engineers, and local authority teams involved in the Coventry regeneration programme, including City of Culture legacy projects and major commercial and residential developments. The University of Warwick and Coventry University both have large concrete estates requiring regular pre-drill scanning and structural investigation.
Coventry and Warwickshire has a significant automotive and advanced manufacturing sector. Pre-drill surveys for factory floor racking and equipment fixings, structural surveys of industrial buildings, and void detection beneath industrial floor slabs are regular requirements across this sector.
