Concrete Scanning in Leicestershire
RebarScan provides concrete scanning and rebar detection across Leicestershire, from the riverside and canal concrete of the Soar Valley to the made ground of the former coalfield and the vast distribution slabs along the M1 and M69. The on-site scan is only the first step in our work; the greatest care goes into the office post-processing, where we analyse the data, cross-check returns and resolve ambiguity into a fully interpreted, dependable result. That interpretation is supported by careful method selection and thorough coverage on site, so the underlying capture is sound and the records are accurate, traceable and complete. Throughout the county we deliver results that withstand design, dispute and audit scrutiny, going well beyond a set of provisional floor marks. All scanning is carried out to UKCSS-compliant standards.

Leicestershire combines Soar Valley river and Grand Union Canal corridors, the North West Leicestershire coalfield around Coalville and Whitwick, granite quarrying at Mountsorrel and Charnwood Forest, and a long hosiery and footwear manufacturing heritage through Hinckley, Earl Shilton and Barwell. Layered over this are major rail-freight and logistics parks along the M1, M69 and A50 and at East Midlands Gateway. From medieval market-town churches and listed brick-and-ironstone mills to modern distribution sheds, the county presents an unusually varied range of concrete stock to survey.

Scanning services across Leicestershire
Frequently asked questions
- What types of concrete structures do you scan across Leicestershire?
- We scan reinforced slabs, foundations, bridges, retaining walls, multi-storey decks and below-waterline canal and riverside concrete across Leicestershire, covering everything from coalfield-legacy made ground at Coalville to distribution-park slabs along the M1 and M69.
- Why is office post-processing so important for concrete scanning in Leicestershire?
- The on-site capture can carry ambiguity, especially on Leicestershire's mixed coalfield, granite and waterside stock. Our careful office post-processing analyses and cross-checks that data and resolves the ambiguity into a fully interpreted, traceable result, which is the most important part of the work and where we put the most attention.
- Should concrete be scanned before any repair is carried out in Leicestershire?
- Yes. No structural repair should be specified or carried out on a Leicestershire concrete element until it has been properly scanned and the data expertly interpreted by a reputable specialist, so that remedial work addresses the real condition rather than an assumed one.
- Do you carry out dive surveys on the rivers and canals in Leicestershire?
- Yes. The Soar Valley, the Grand Union Canal, the Ashby Canal and the Trent at Castle Donington all carry below-waterline concrete in Leicestershire, which we survey with dive support and then interpret carefully in the office before reporting.
- How is your concrete scanning in Leicestershire more thorough than a typical scanning contractor?
- Many providers stop at on-site marks on the slab. Across Leicestershire we add rigorous office post-processing, QA cross-checking and complete, traceable records, so you receive a fully interpreted result rather than a provisional set of marks that still needs interpreting.
