Concrete Scanning in Somerset
RebarScan provides concrete scanning across Somerset, from the county town of Taunton and the aerospace base of Yeovil to Bridgwater, Frome, Wells and the coastal towns of Burnham-on-Sea and Minehead. We cover rebar scanning, GPR surveys, cover meter work, scan before drilling and post-tension cable detection. The county ranges from heavy industrial and infrastructure concrete tied to Hinkley Point C and the M5 corridor to historic mill, brewery and quarry-town stock. Our methods are matched to each structure so works proceed without striking reinforcement or services. All scanning is carried out to UKCSS-compliant standards.

Somerset combines major industrial and infrastructure concrete around Yeovil aerospace works and the Hinkley Point C supply base with extensive warehouse and distribution development along the M5. Tidal rivers, docks and Bristol Channel sea defences along the Parrett, Brue and Tone create marine and dive-relevant structures, while the low-lying Somerset Levels bring soft ground and flood-management foundations. Deep heritage building stock includes woollen mills, brick and tile works, brewing and cider plants and protected historic cores at Wells, Glastonbury and Frome.

Frequently asked questions
- Which towns across Somerset does RebarScan cover?
- We cover the whole of Somerset, including Taunton, Yeovil, Bridgwater, Frome, Wells, Street, Glastonbury and the coastal towns of Burnham-on-Sea and Minehead. We attend industrial, commercial, heritage and residential sites countywide.
- Can you scan marine and waterside concrete in Somerset?
- Yes. Somerset has tidal rivers, docks and sea defences along the Parrett, Brue and Tone, and we provide dive-supported and structural surveys of quayside, lock, jetty and sea-wall concrete where access requires it.
- Do you work on Hinkley Point C related concrete in Somerset?
- We scan industrial, accommodation and infrastructure concrete connected to the Hinkley Point C programme around Bridgwater and the wider Somerset coast, including warehouse, logistics and enterprise-site structures.
- How does the Somerset Levels affect scanning and construction?
- The low-lying Levels bring soft ground, high water tables and flood-management requirements, which influence foundations and slab design. We scan slabs, rafts and ground-bearing concrete so coring and fixing avoid reinforcement and embedded services.
- Do you scan heritage and historic structures in Somerset?
- Yes. Somerset has protected cores at Wells, Glastonbury and Frome and many former mill and brewery sites. We use non-destructive methods including GPR and cover meter surveys suited to sensitive and listed fabric.
