Concrete Scanning in Hertfordshire
RebarScan provides concrete scanning and rebar detection across Hertfordshire, from the New Town and garden-city concrete of Stevenage, Hemel Hempstead, Welwyn Garden City and Letchworth to the commuter and commercial stock of Watford, St Albans and Hertford. We scan the concrete and reinforced concrete in all of it so works proceed without striking reinforcement or services. The county also carries canal, river and waterside structures along the Grand Union Canal and the Lee and Stort Navigations, which we reach by dive survey where needed. All scanning is carried out to UKCSS-compliant standards.

Hertfordshire concrete is dominated by post-war New Towns and garden cities built largely in reinforced concrete, alongside aerospace and high-tech engineering plants at Stevenage and Hatfield, dense commuter-belt housing, and M25, M1 and A1(M) corridor logistics with large industrial slabs. Older fabric ranges from brewing and maltings, printing and film-studio buildings to the heritage cores of market towns and the Roman archaeology at St Albans. The work spans heavy industrial floors, dense new frames, occupied commercial premises and canal, lock and weir structures, and we choose the right method for each.

Scanning services across Hertfordshire
Frequently asked questions
- Which areas of Hertfordshire does RebarScan cover?
- We cover the whole county, including Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage, St Albans, Welwyn Garden City, Cheshunt, Hatfield, Bishop's Stortford, Hoddesdon, Borehamwood, Hitchin, Letchworth Garden City, Harpenden, Hertford and the surrounding towns and villages.
- What types of concrete structure do you scan in Hertfordshire?
- Everything from New Town and garden-city reinforced-concrete housing and civic stock to aerospace factory slabs at Stevenage, distribution sheds along the M25 and A1(M), commuter commercial premises, car parks, bridges and canal and river structures.
- Do you scan New Town and garden-city concrete across Hertfordshire?
- Yes. The reinforced-concrete frames, housing and civic structures at Stevenage, Hemel Hempstead, Hatfield, Welwyn Garden City and Letchworth often lack complete reinforcement records, so scanning is the reliable way to confirm what is inside before any cutting or fixing.
- Can you survey canal and river concrete structures in Hertfordshire?
- Yes. Along the Grand Union Canal and the Lee and Stort Navigations at towns such as Hemel Hempstead, Hertford, Ware and Rickmansworth we scan concrete lock, weir and waterside structures, including submerged elements reached by dive survey where they cannot be dewatered.
- Do you serve both contractors and engineers in Hertfordshire?
- Yes. We clear fixing and core points for contractors and fit-out teams across the county, and provide reinforcement location, cover assessment and post-tension surveys that support structural engineers on appraisal and alteration work.
