Face Consultants are passionate about industrial and warehouse flooring.
Face Consultants are involved in dealing with over ten million square metres of warehouse flooring every year – from design, supervision, testing, due diligence, construction, repair and upgrading.
Face Consultants provide Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Scanning for floor slab surveys.
The most common way to calculate the thickness and strength of in-situ concrete slabs is by taking cores. However, core extractions create holes in the slab, do not make allowance for variations in thickness across the floor, are labour-intensive, and can be costly.
Coring also runs the risk of missing important ‘as built’ information with regard to the slab reinforcement size and spacings.
If combined with GPR scanning, fewer cores typically need taking. The two methods used together can enable a more comprehensive overview of the concrete strength and reinforcement available within the slab.
