GPR concrete scanning in Mumbai
Site mobilisation for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region runs out of the Thane base, not Ahmedabad, for faster attendance. Same day or next day attendance across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai on typical scopes.
Coverage
The Thane base, at Opp Tikujini Wadi, Manpada, Thane (West) 400610, Maharashtra, is the mobilisation point for Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai. Coverage includes post-tensioned floor plates in commercial towers, occupied building surveys, and coastal exposure work on jetties and waterfront structures, all of which come up more often in this region than anywhere else Scanforte covers.

The drawing is not the structure
As built reinforcement moves. Ducts sag between supports. Conduits are added during service and never recorded. A drilled hole that severs a main bar becomes a structural repair, and a core through a stressed tendon becomes an incident. Ground penetrating radar answers the question the drawing cannot: what is actually in this element, at what depth, at this exact position, today.
That question comes up in three situations most often: before core cutting, where bars and ducts need to be located and a clear window identified; before drilling and anchoring, on renovation, fit out and strengthening work; and when an anomaly, a void, a delaminated zone or a moisture affected area, needs to be turned from a scattered bright spot into a plan extent that can be marked up, priced and acted on.
Post-tensioned floor plates and marine structures
Tendon profiles, duct locations, anchorage zones and grouting verification, before any opening is formed in a stressed slab, which is common in the commercial towers across this region. Jetties, berthing structures and piles under continuous saline exposure are surveyed with parameters derived separately for submerged, tidal, splash and atmospheric zones, since a single calibration across the whole element reads every depth wrong here.
Equipment used
The HILTI PS 1000 X-Scan is a three antenna ground penetrating radar system that produces plan view images of concrete, not the single line trace of a covermeter or a rebar scanner. It records a 600 by 600 mm image scan grid in a single set up, extendable to 1200 mm by 1200 mm for larger elements, and detects to a stated maximum of 300 mm in concrete. Default settings assume dry, ordinary concrete, so we acquire in expert mode with the phase of the signal preserved and calibrate the dielectric constant on the element in front of us, processed in PROFIS Detection together with our own MATLAB routines.
WHO WE WORK FOR
Structural consultants and forensic engineers. Retrofitting and rehabilitation contractors. Testing laboratories and third party inspection agencies. Asset owners, developers and public infrastructure authorities.
From WhatsApp message to marked element
Enquiry. Send the element type, thickness, exposure condition and what you need to locate on WhatsApp. Photographs, drawings and any previous scan output help us assess it fast.
Plan. We check access, moisture, exposure and reinforcement congestion against your target, confirm radar is the right test, and schedule the visit.
Scan and mark. Calibrated on the element, scanned in an orthogonal grid, and marked directly on the surface for your coring or cutting crew, same visit.
Report, if needed. Depth slices, plan extents and permissible core diameters, issued as a written report when your project requires formal documentation.
