Ferro Scanning in Birmingham
Corvus delivers ferro scanning across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands area. Birmingham's HS2-driven regeneration and city-centre commercial schemes generate constant demand for concrete scanning and large-scale GPR. Whether you need ferro scanning on a single fit-out or a programme of works, we quote, attend, and report against a documented method.
Ferro Scanning as practised in Birmingham.
Ferro scanning is high-resolution electromagnetic detection of ferrous reinforcement. It complements GPR by giving cover depth and bar spacing readings, with bar diameter estimated where conditions allow on dense or shallow reinforcement.
A handheld induction probe passes over the surface. As the field interacts with steel, the device records bar position, depth and diameter range. Data is logged and overlaid on a slab map. Calibration is checked on every job to keep readings within manufacturer tolerance.
