Many companies are looking for Core Cutting Services in Dubai. But there is an inherent risk of striking rebar, electrical conduits, or post-tension cables during the cutting, coring, or drilling process of a concrete structure. That’s why it is always worthwhile to invest in Concrete Scanning and Inspection Services first.
With Concrete Scanning, one can identify the location and the depth of any embedded object in the concrete using Ground Penetrating Radar. GPR is a safe and non-invasive method of imaging objects before cutting or coring by using transmitted waves and their reflected signals to detect the exact position of the embedded objects.
Core Drilling Companies in Dubai must opt for Concrete Scanning as it helps preserve the structural integrity of the concrete, reduce personnel injury risk, and eliminate costly mid-project repairs. In this article, we have briefly outlined a few benefits of adopting Concrete Inspection Services for safe Concrete Coring in Dubai.
Detect Reinforcing Steel
By using Concrete Scanning, a trained technician can locate and identify any rebar or post-tension cables within the concrete slab. He can then mark the location of the reinforcing steel directly on the surface so that anyone doing the cutting or the drilling can safely navigate around it. In this way, companies can conduct core drilling without any accidents, injuries, or delay.
Locate Electrical Conduits
Timely and accurate detection of electrical conduits is essential in preventing safety risks, power outages, and costly damages. If an electrical conduit is cut in a commercial or industrial area, it can pose a safety hazard to the people working there. That’s why it is important to use Concrete Scanning to determine where all the conduits are located before cutting or drilling.
Analyze the Concrete
Concrete Scanning can help analyze a concrete structure. It can measure the thickness of the concrete, determine the rebar content, and gauge the spacing and elevation of the slab. Engineers need this information to understand how to proceed with concrete coring more efficiently and safely.
Locate Voids
Voids are air gaps between the sub-grade, dirt, and the concrete slab-on-grade hidden below the concrete or asphalt surfaces. They develop over a period of time as a result of compaction, pipe ruptures, or erosion. It is very difficult to detect on the surface without the use of Concrete Scanning. Locating these voids can help avoid untimely collapse.
