Concrete Scanning in Central London
Central London buildings bring their own challenges: post-tensioned slabs, occupied floors, tight access and strict working hours. ACUO provides GPR concrete scanning and post-tension detection for fit-outs, refurbishments and M&E installations across the City, Westminster and Canary Wharf.
Post-tension slabs: scan before you drill
Many commercial buildings in Central London have post-tensioned floor slabs. Cutting a tendon is dangerous, expensive and can compromise the structure.
We locate tendons, reinforcement and embedded services, and mark safe coring and fixing zones directly on the slab before any drilling starts.

- Night, weekend and out-of-hours working to suit building managers and occupiers
- Quiet, non-destructive scanning with no dust or vibration

Can you work out of hours?
Yes. Much of our Central London work is done at night or at weekends to avoid disrupting occupiers.
How do you identify post-tension tendons?
We use high-resolution 3D GPR to map the tendon profile and mark it on the slab, so coring and fixings can be positioned safely.
Can you provide RAMS for building management?
Yes. We supply RAMS, insurance details and accreditation documents in advance.
