Can you locate reinforcement in older Oxfordshire buildings without drawings?

Yes. Much of Oxfordshire's older concrete predates reliable record-keeping, so reinforcement drawings are often missing. Scanning recovers the bar layout, spacing and cover directly from the structure, which is exactly what engineers need for appraisal.

Do you support structural engineers in Oxfordshire with as-built records?

We do. We map the top reinforcement mat across an element and annotate it onto a sketch, providing as-built information for load assessments and alteration design on buildings across the county.

Which Oxfordshire sectors most often need rebar scanning?

Refurbishment of the Oxford college and hospital estate, alteration of mid-century commercial frames in the market towns, and verification on new builds around Bicester and Didcot all generate regular demand for reinforcement location.

Rebar Scanning in Oxfordshire

A great deal of Oxfordshire's concrete was built before reinforcement records were reliably kept, from the post-war additions across the Oxford college estate to the mid-century commercial frames in its market towns. RebarScan locates that hidden reinforcement across the county so engineers and contractors can drill, alter and assess with confidence.

Reinforcement location for Oxfordshire structures

When original drawings are missing, which is common on older Oxfordshire buildings, the only dependable way to know where the steel runs is to scan for it. We recover the position, spacing and cover of the reinforcement directly from the element, whether that is a 1960s civic building in Thame, a hospital wing in Oxford, or a converted commercial unit in Witney.

For new work, the same surveys verify that fixings and cores can be placed clear of the bars, and confirm as-built reinforcement where a structural engineer needs it for a load assessment or an alteration design.
