- Acceptance inspection of concrete components
- Checking reinforcement before structural repair
- Verification of lenth of overlap
- Post installed reinforcement
What information is required?
- Position of reinforcing bars

Examples
- Industrial buildings, ceilings and decks, beams, supporting columns
Checking coverage
Situation
- Building acceptance inspections
- Coverage checking over a large area during renovation
- Quality control
What information is required?
- Depth of coverage
Types of scan
- Mainly Quickscan but also Imagescan in difficult situations
Examples
- Tunnels, bridges, underground car parks
Avoiding rebar hits
Situation
Hammer drilling or core drilling without (costly!) problem of contacting rebars No cutting through statically relevant reinforcing bars Achieve considerably longer drill bit life
What information is required?
- Position
Types of scan
- Ditection by Quickscan but also Imagescan where penetrations are made
