Concrete Scanning in Dorset
RebarScan provides concrete scanning across Dorset, covering the coastal resorts, historic county and market towns, and the fast-growing commuter settlements of the east. We work in towns including Weymouth, Dorchester, Sherborne, Wimborne Minster and Ferndown, scanning everything from harbour and sea-defence concrete to new-build residential frames and heritage building stock. Our methods locate reinforcement, post-tension cables and services before drilling, coring or cutting, so works proceed without striking what lies inside the slab. All scanning is carried out to UKCSS-compliant standards.

Dorset's construction stock spans marine and harbour concrete along the Jurassic Coast, conservation-area cores in towns such as Dorchester, Shaftesbury and Sherborne, and extensive modern housing and trade estates near the BCP conurbation and the A31. Riverine valleys along the Frome, Stour, Brit and Yeo add river walls, bridges and waterside structures, much of it suited to dive and waterside survey. Defence and quarrying heritage at Portland, Purbeck and Blandford Camp brings further large-scale and specialist concrete.

Frequently asked questions
- Which towns across Dorset does RebarScan cover for concrete scanning?
- We cover the whole of the Dorset Council area, including Weymouth, Dorchester, Wimborne Minster, Bridport, Blandford Forum, Gillingham, Sherborne, Shaftesbury and Swanage. We do not cover the separate BCP unitary of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.
- Can RebarScan survey coastal and harbour concrete in Dorset?
- Yes. We scan harbour walls, piers, slipways and sea defences along the Dorset coast from Weymouth to Swanage, using dive survey where structures are below the waterline.
- Does RebarScan scan heritage and conservation-area buildings in Dorset?
- Yes. Many Dorset towns have protected Georgian and historic cores, so we use non-destructive methods such as GPR and cover meter surveys that do not damage the existing fabric.
- What scanning methods does RebarScan use across Dorset?
- We use GPR, electromagnetic cover meter surveys and combined techniques to locate rebar, post-tension cables and embedded services, selecting the method that suits each Dorset structure.
- How quickly can RebarScan attend a site in Dorset?
- Attendance depends on location and the type of survey, but we routinely cover the coastal, central and east Dorset towns. Contact us with your site details for a quote and timescale.
