Non-Intrusive Surveys
LDM Scanning uses the latest technology to help you detect issues before they cost you time and money.
We can help you with
- 3D analysis of concrete steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete structures
- Locating services, rebars, tendons, metal and plastic conduits, glass-fibre cables, voids, cavities and wood in dry concrete structures at depths up to 300mm
- Rebar detection – avoid hitting concealed objects, rebar and services when drilling and sawing
- Quality assessment and checking rebar and tendon layout (e.g. curvature, density, depth)
- Inspection of floors, decks, slabs, balconies, etc in structures such as tunnels, bridges and buildings
- Generate pictorial representations instantly to enable on-site evaluation
- 3D Imaging and reporting

The Hilti PS 1000 X-Scan provides clear 2D and 3D images with multiple layers. In 3D, images can be rotated to show 3-dimensional views from all sides. X and Y steel enforcements can be colour coded to highlight direction and depth.
Benefits to user
- Detect in real-time reinforcements like tendons etc. These can be marked up on-site allowing other trades to follow up to core and fix the structure
- Reduces risks by locating the safest place to cut or drill – and allows you to inspect hundreds of square metres of concrete in a day
- Date can be exported by infrared between the PS1000X-Scan and PSA100 Monitor to provide on-site analysis

The Silver Schmidt ST/PC is the first integrated concrete test hammer to feature true rebound value and unmatched repeatability. Thanks to its unique design and high quality construction it makes hammer testing quicker and more accurate than ever before.
Independent testing by BAM (Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, Germany) has shown the Silver Schmidt ST/PC to have less dispersion than the classical concrete test hammer over the entire range.
Benefits to user
- Concrete uniformity testing
- Concrete compressive strength estimation
- Concrete screening test to identify core locations
- Concrete compressive strength range 10-70 N/mm2 (1’450 to 10’152 psi)
- Allows you to test in accordance with major standards
- Visual reports are generated using lists, bar charts, and statistics
- Records data from the app to a web reporting tool
- Report export options of PDF or CSV
- Records GPS locations, enables adding notes, images and audio comments
using the Logbook feature for full measurement activity traceability.
Logbook feature for full measurement activity summaries - Hammer verification management to help keep hammers calibrated as
required by standards

The UtilityScan® provides a rich feature set that redefines the level of performance available in a low cost utility locating system. Its compact size makes it extremely portable and easy to maneuver in tight survey areas. The simple operation is ideally suited to meet the needs of service providers, engineering contractors and state and local municipalities. Best of all, the breakthrough technology designed into UtilityScan results in high quality data sets that are second to none.
Reliable mark outs, paper records, and as-builts on buried utilities are rare. Damaging utilities can be costly, leading to cost overruns, project delays, and safety concerns. Recent specifications from ASCE and PAS 128, require that contractors and municipalities have accurate and up-to-date information on active and abandoned utilities. UtilityScan can quickly identify the location and depth of service utilities such as gas, communications, and sewer lines – as well as other metallic and nonmetallic targets including underground storage tanks and PVC pipes.
Benefits to user
- Scan utilities – metallic and non-metallic
- Locate water lines
- Detect voids and underground storage tanks (USTs)
- Identify soil and foundation characteristics
- Locate shallow objects for archaeology
