Why Choose Structure Scan

Protect Your Project. Protect Your Team.

One utility strike can cost R100,000+ in repairs, delays and potential injuries. Our GPR scanning costs a fraction of that—and provides certainty before the first cut.

Eliminate Safety Risks

Construction has SA's 3rd highest fatality rate. Striking a live electrical conduit or post-tension cable can be fatal. Our scans eliminate guesswork and protect your crew.

Prevent Costly Damages

R500M paid in construction injury compensation annually in SA. Add repair costs, project delays and legal fees—scanning is always cheaper than striking.

Keep Projects On Schedule

Utility strikes cause days or weeks of delays. Our rapid scanning service provides same-day results, so your excavation crews can work with confidence.

Meet Compliance Standards

OHS Act regulations require risk assessments. Our detailed reports demonstrate due diligence and help satisfy legal requirements for safe construction practices.

Our Core Services

Comprehensive Subsurface Detection Solutions

From concrete scanning to private utility locating, we provide the subsurface data you need to excavate, drill and core safely and efficiently.

GPR Concrete Scanning

Don't risk cutting into a post-tension cable or live conduit. We use ground penetrating radar to image the interior of concrete slabs, walls, beams and columns—revealing hidden dangers before you drill or core.

  • Rebar Detection: Map reinforcement patterns, spacing & depth
  • Post-Tension Cables: Locate pre-stressed tendons to prevent catastrophic failures
  • Conduits & Pipes: Detect electrical, plumbing & HVAC within concrete
  • Void Detection: Identify air pockets, honeycombing & delamination
  • Slab Thickness: Verify concrete depth for structural assessments

Private Utility Locating

Municipal utility maps stop at your property line. Everything beyond the meter—gas, water, power, fiber—is your responsibility. We locate and map private utilities to prevent strikes during excavation.

  • Underground Pipes: Water, gas, sewerage & stormwater lines
  • Power Cables: Electrical distribution lines & service connections
  • Fiber Optic Lines: Telecommunications & data infrastructure
  • Storage Tanks: Buried fuel tanks, septic systems & water storage
  • Non-Metallic Pipes: PVC & plastic lines that metal detectors miss

Ultrasonic Thickness Testing

Need to verify concrete slab thickness without drilling cores? Our ultrasonic testing measures from one side—perfect for quality assurance, structural assessments and renovation planning.

  • Slab Verification: Confirm concrete pour met specifications
  • Wall Thickness: Measure retaining walls, foundations & partitions
  • Asphalt Layers: Measure road surface & base course depth
  • Non-Destructive: No coring, drilling or damage to structure
  • Fast Results: Immediate measurements on-site

Advanced Technology

The US RADAR SEEKER 2 Advantage

We don't use hobbyist equipment. Structure Scan employs the professional-grade US RADAR SEEKER 2 GPR System—purpose-built for challenging South African soil conditions, deep target detection and reliable results.

This high-end system provides the accuracy and depth penetration that civil engineering, solar, telecoms, oil & gas and construction projects demand.

Deep Penetration: Detects targets through dense concrete, clay & compacted soil where other systems fail
Non-Metallic Detection: Locates PVC pipes, fiber optic cables & plastic conduits invisible to metal detectors
High-Resolution Imaging: Clear, detailed subsurface maps for confident decision-making
Real-Time Results: Immediate on-site interpretation so work can proceed without delay
