Ferro Scanning in Durham
Durham construction teams ask us for ferro scanning when the cost of an avoidable mistake is bigger than the cost of a survey. Durham's cathedral-quarter heritage and modern university estate pair sympathetic LiDAR with engineering-grade GPR. Corvus covers the city and the surrounding region with engineering-grade ferro scanning.
Ferro Scanning as practised in Durham.
Ferro scanning is high-resolution electromagnetic detection of ferrous reinforcement. It complements GPR by giving cover depth and bar spacing readings, with bar diameter estimated where conditions allow on dense or shallow reinforcement.
A handheld induction probe passes over the surface. As the field interacts with steel, the device records bar position, depth and diameter range. Data is logged and overlaid on a slab map. Calibration is checked on every job to keep readings within manufacturer tolerance.
