What We Offer
Concrete Scanning Services in Brisbane
We provide a comprehensive range of concrete scanning services to support construction, renovation, and maintenance projects across Brisbane and the wider South East Queensland region.
GPR Concrete Scanning
Ground Penetrating Radar scanning to map the internal structure of concrete slabs, walls, and columns across Brisbane. Our GPR equipment provides real-time subsurface imaging to identify embedded objects before any cutting or drilling takes place.
Rebar Location Scanning
Accurately locate reinforcement steel within concrete elements. We map rebar position, depth, and spacing so you can plan penetrations safely and avoid costly structural damage on your Brisbane project.
Post-Tension Cable Detection
Identify post-tension cables embedded in concrete structures. Striking a PT cable can cause catastrophic structural failure — our scanning eliminates this risk before any coring or cutting works commence.
Conduit & Service Detection
Locate electrical conduits, plumbing lines, and other embedded services within concrete. Essential for renovation and retrofit projects throughout Brisbane to prevent service strikes and costly repairs.
Slab Thickness Measurement
Non-destructive measurement of concrete slab thickness using GPR technology. Critical for structural assessments, load calculations, and verifying construction compliance on Brisbane building projects.
Drill & Core Clearance Scanning
Clear each penetration point before drilling, coring, or cutting. We identify all reinforcement and embedded services at every proposed location, marking safe and no-go zones directly on the slab.

Common Questions
Concrete Scanning Brisbane FAQ
Answers to frequently asked questions about our concrete scanning services in Brisbane.
Concrete scanning is a non-destructive testing method that uses ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic technology to detect objects embedded within concrete. In Brisbane, concrete scanning is essential before any drilling, coring, or cutting works on commercial buildings, residential slabs, and infrastructure. Brisbane's mix of older buildings with traditional reinforcement and newer structures with post-tension cables means scanning is critical to identify what lies beneath the surface. Without scanning, there is a significant risk of striking reinforcement steel, live electrical conduits, plumbing, or post-tension cables, which can result in structural damage, safety hazards, and costly project delays.
The cost of concrete scanning in Brisbane depends on several factors including the number of penetration points, the total area to be scanned, site accessibility, and the complexity of the structure. For straightforward drill clearance scanning with a small number of points, costs are very competitive. Larger area scans and comprehensive slab mapping are priced based on the scope of work. We provide transparent, upfront quotes for every Brisbane project so you know exactly what to expect. Contact us on 0448 814 010 for a tailored quote based on your specific requirements.
KCT Scan is based in South East Queensland and services the entire Brisbane metropolitan area. For most Brisbane locations, we can schedule scanning within 24 to 48 hours of your enquiry. We also offer same-day and next-day service for urgent projects where delays would impact your construction schedule. Our team understands that time is money on a job site, which is why we prioritise fast response and efficient on-site service. Whether your project is in the Brisbane CBD, inner suburbs, or outer metropolitan areas, we will work with your timeline to get the job done.
Concrete scanning is required across a wide range of construction and renovation projects in Brisbane. Common applications include core hole drilling for plumbing and electrical penetrations, saw cutting for new openings in slabs and walls, anchor bolt installation, structural assessments for renovations, and demolition planning. We work with builders, electricians, plumbers, concrete cutters, engineers, and property owners across Brisbane on projects ranging from small residential renovations through to major commercial and infrastructure developments. Any time you plan to penetrate concrete, scanning should be your first step.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is the most versatile concrete scanning technology available. Unlike basic cover meters which only detect metallic objects near the surface, GPR can detect both metallic and non-metallic objects at greater depths. This means GPR can locate plastic conduits, voids, and changes in concrete composition that other methods miss. At KCT Scan, we use GPR as our primary scanning method in Brisbane and supplement it with electromagnetic scanning where appropriate. This combined approach ensures the highest possible detection accuracy across all types of concrete structures and embedded services.
