Every scan carried out to the UKCSS™ standard produces a consistent set of deliverables that clients can rely on for planning, safety, and decision-making. These deliverables are practical, traceable, and immediately usable on site and in reporting.

Deliverables

  • Clear surface mark-ups on concrete elements showing identified reinforcement, tendons, and embedded services
  • Annotated drawings or CAD overlays aligned to grid references and site coordinates
  • A digital report including findings, interpreted depths, and stated confidence levels
  • Photographic evidence of marked-up areas, scan lines, and site conditions
  • A structured data archive containing raw GPR files, calibration records, and interpretation notes for audit and re-analysis

Quality Assurance

  • Documented scope, objectives, and survey boundaries agreed with the client before scanning begins
  • Qualified personnel working to the RCSP™ competency framework appropriate to the survey complexity
  • Equipment calibrated with traceable records and daily functionality checks recorded in the site log
  • Method statements and RAMS specific to the structure and the site environment
  • On-site safety controls including live service detection, permits to work, and exclusion zones where required
  • Transparent reporting of confidence levels, limitations, and residual risks so clients can make informed decisions
  • Retention of data and records for a minimum of 12 months, or longer where contracts demand, to ensure full traceability

The framework ensures that every UKCSS™ approved scan is auditable, repeatable, and defensible – giving contractors, engineers, and clients confidence that decisions are based on reliable evidence, not assumptions.
