Fixing Minor Structural Damage in Brisbane Homes Spotting a hairline fracture in your plasterboard feels like a trivial maintenance issue, but these tiny fissures usually signal serious movement happening deep underground. Brisbane homes sit on volatile clay soils that constantly shift during extreme weather patterns. The team at Booth Engineers conducts precise foundation assessments across […]
Concrete GPR Scanning Services Brisbane & South East Queensland
Non-Destructive Concrete Scanning by RPEQ Structural Engineers
Booth Engineers & Associates provides professional Concrete Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) scanning services across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and South-East Queensland.
We combine advanced GPR technology with RPEQ-certified structural engineering expertise to deliver accurate, non-destructive concrete analysis without damaging existing structures.
About Our Concrete GPR Scanning Services
Our concrete scanning services allow builders, asset owners and facility managers to see inside concrete before cutting, coring or modifying structural elements.
Using high-frequency radar antennas, we scan:
- Concrete slabs
- Walls
- Beams
- Columns
We detect reinforcement, post-tension cables, conduits, embedded services and hidden voids.
This reduces the risk of costly damage, project delays and safety incidents during construction or remedial works.
Based in Rocklea, approximately ten minutes from the Brisbane CBD, we service Brisbane Metro, Logan, Ipswich, and the Gold Coast.
All scan results are interpreted by structural engineers who understand how findings interact with the building’s structural system.
Typical Concrete GPR Scanning Applications
- Pre-slab investigations before cutting or coring
- Structural investigations and defect assessments
- Asset condition reporting for aging infrastructure
Why Choose Booth Engineers for Concrete GPR Scanning in Brisbane?
Unlike standalone scanning operators, Booth Engineers provides GPR services delivered and interpreted by RPEQ-certified structural engineers.
We provide:
- Engineer-reviewed scan reports
- Practical engineering recommendations
- Rapid mobilisation across South-East Queensland
- Experience in commercial, industrial and multi-storey developments

Our Concrete GPR Scanning Process
- ProjectBriefing
We clarify your objectives — whether for core drilling, structural modification or asset investigation. - On-Site Scanning
Using calibrated antennas and scanning grids suited to slab thickness and access conditions. - Real-Time Marking
On-screen imaging and on-slab markingsidentify safe cutting and drilling zones. - Engineering Review & Reporting
Scan data isanalysed by structural engineers to produce marked-up plans and a concise report outlining findings and recommendations.
For distressed structures, findings can be integrated into broader structural investigations or remedial design.
Benefits of Professional Concrete Scanning
- Avoid cutting reinforcement or post-tension cables
- Reduce risk of costly structural damage
- Prevent project delays and safety incidents
- Maintain structural integrity through non-destructive testing
- Improve planning for maintenance and remedial works
Professional concrete GPR scanning improves site safety, protects assets and keeps projects on schedule.
Technical Capabilities
Our equipment and expertise enable us to:
- Map reinforcement in slabs, beams and walls
- Identify voids and honeycombing
- Estimate slab thickness and layer interfaces
All findings are documented in engineer-reviewed drawings and reports suitable for design, construction and compliance records.
Concrete GPR Scanning FAQs
What are concrete scanning services?
Concrete scanning uses Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to locate reinforcement, cables, conduits and defects within concrete so that work can proceed safely.
When should I book GPR concrete scanning?
Before core drilling, sawing, anchor installation, structural modifications or when investigating cracking and structural distress.
What makes Booth Engineers different?
While many providers operate GPR equipment, we combine scanning with RPEQ structural engineering expertise — delivering actionable engineering advice rather than raw radar data.
Do you service areas outside Brisbane?
Yes. We service the Gold Coast, Ipswich, and surrounding areas in South-East QLD.
Can you combine scanning with structural engineering services?
Yes. We integrate GPR results into structural assessments, remedial design and certification where required.
