Birdsview Concrete

3D concrete scanning, rebar and cover mapping

Non-destructive 3D scanning of concrete structures. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) and a 3D tracker working together, with the analysis done automatically — so you see inside the concrete without breaking it.

The solution

Scan. Analyse. Reveal.

See inside the concrete without breaking it. Replace weeks of manual inspection and destructive core drilling with fast, automated 3D data you can trust.

The challenge

Four reasons concrete projects fail.

Retrofit and maintenance projects can run 3× over budget, largely because of poor upfront inspection. In a retrofit project, you often start blind.

01

No drawings

As-built documentation is missing or outdated for most older structures.

02

Subjective inspections

Visual assessments say nothing about rebar or the inside of the concrete.

03

Slow tools

Current NDT methods take weeks for what should take hours, and give little insight.

04

Destructive testing

Core drilling damages the structure and still only gives point data.

3×

over budget

Fat-tail risk on concrete retrofit and maintenance projects. Birdsview gives you full visibility, so you plan right, avoid surprises and stay on budget.

Applications

Engineered for structural challenges.

From tender to maintenance plan, wherever a decision depends on what is inside the concrete.

Project planning

  • Improve tender accuracy
  • Maximise reuse potential
  • Reduce execution risk

Retrofitting projects

  • Assess structural load capacity
  • Cut uncertainty and risk
  • Save time and cost

Maintenance projects

  • Smarter repairs
  • Safeguard structural integrity
  • Plan long-term maintenance

Quality assurance

  • Verify rebar placement and concrete cover in new construction

Rebar mapping

  • Locate rebar position, depth, diameter and spacing across entire structures

Cutting and coring

  • Avoid hits and hazards
  • Ensure worker safety
  • Prevent costly mistakes

Get started

Bring the scanner to your next structure.

We run surveys with asset owners, consultants and contractors on projects in nine countries. Tell us about the structure and we will show you what the data looks like.
