Concrete Diagnostics & Structural Assessment
LuxConcrete Diagnostics provides technical, non-destructive concrete assessments to help owners, engineers and contractors understand the true condition of their structures. We combine field expertise, modern testing methods and clear reporting to support safe, informed decisions.
Concrete Inspection & Condition Assessment
Reinforcement Location with the PM8000 Pro
Locating reinforcement accurately is essential for safe drilling, coring, anchoring, and structural assessment. This service provides a non‑destructive mapping of reinforcement using the PM8000 Pro, a pulse‑induction device designed to detect steel within concrete with precision. The method identifies the position, spacing, and layout of reinforcement without damaging the structure, making it suitable for both existing buildings and new construction.
Scope of the reinforcement scan
Detection of reinforcement in slabs, walls, beams, and columns
Mapping of bar positions and spacing
Identification of single‑layer and multi‑layer reinforcement
Locating reinforcement before drilling, cutting, or installing anchors
Verification of reinforcement layout in critical structural zones
How the scan is performed
The PM8000 Pro is moved across the concrete surface to detect metallic elements using pulse‑induction technology. The device provides real‑time feedback on bar location and arrangement, allowing precise marking of reinforcement directly on the structure. This approach prevents accidental hits during construction work and supports reliable structural evaluation.
Benefits for construction and renovation
Non‑destructive and fast reinforcement mapping
Increased safety for drilling and coring operations
Clearer visualization of reinforcement layout
Reduced risk of structural damage
Suitable for concrete elements of various thicknesses and geometries
Documentation and workflow
After the on‑site scan, findings are summarized in a structured report that includes reinforcement layout, identified bar positions, and recommendations for safe execution of planned works. The service is billed on an hourly basis, covering scanning, evaluation, and documentation.
Concrete cover assessment with the PM8000 Pro
Ensuring adequate concrete cover is essential for the long‑term durability and safety of reinforced concrete structures. This service provides a non‑destructive verification of the minimum cover depth using the PM8000 Pro, an advanced pulse‑induction device designed to locate reinforcement and measure cover thickness with high accuracy. The method allows reliable assessment without drilling or damaging the structure, making it ideal for both existing buildings and new construction.
What the assessment delivers
Precise measurement of reinforcement depth and spacing
Verification of minimum cover requirements for durability and corrosion protection
Identification of areas with insufficient or inconsistent cover
Fast, clean, and fully non‑destructive testing suitable for all concrete surfaces
How the process works
The PM8000 Pro is scanned across the concrete surface to detect embedded reinforcement and determine the exact cover depth. Measurements are taken systematically across the defined area, creating a clear picture of compliance with design specifications and relevant standards. All data is recorded digitally for detailed evaluation.
Reporting and documentation
After the on‑site assessment, a structured report is prepared that includes measurement results, interpretation of findings, and recommendations for durability and structural performance. The service is billed on an hourly basis, covering scanning, analysis, and report preparation.
Moisture problems in concrete, masonry, and interior surfaces can lead to long‑term damage, reduced durability, and costly repairs. This service provides a fast, non‑destructive moisture screening using the BM31, a capacitive surface indicator designed to detect elevated moisture levels without drilling or damaging the material. It is ideal for private clients who need clarity on potential moisture issues in their home or building.
What the screening detects
Elevated moisture zones in concrete, screed, plaster, and masonry
Early signs of moisture intrusion or hidden dampness
Surface‑level moisture distribution across walls, floors, and ceilings
Areas that may require further investigation or targeted drying
How the process works
The BM31 is guided across the surface to measure moisture distribution using capacitive sensing. The device identifies relative moisture levels and highlights critical zones quickly and cleanly. This method is suitable for initial assessments and for confirming whether further diagnostic steps are necessary.
Benefits for homeowners and property Managers
Non‑destructive and fast moisture detection
Clear identification of problem areas
Early warning for potential structural or indoor‑climate issues
Reporting and workflow
After the on‑site screening, findings are summarized in a short report that includes measurement results and identified moisture zones.. The service is billed on an hourly basis, covering the inspection and documentation.

Structural Integrity Certificate
-
The LuxConcrete Diagnostics – Structural Integrity Certificate is an independent, technical assessment that documents the true condition of a building element. It is based on professional, non‑destructive testing methods and provides a clear, objective evaluation of structural stability, moisture behavior, material quality, and long‑term durability.
This certificate gives property owners, buyers, and building professionals reliable clarity where visual inspection alone is not enough. It is a technical quality seal, issued according to a defined diagnostic methodology developed by LuxConcrete Diagnostics.
-
Most building defects develop silently and invisibly: moisture accumulation, hidden cracks, material degradation, or early‑stage structural risks.
For property owners, the certificate provides:
Proof of building quality
Transparency for long‑term planning
A documented condition report for buyers, tenants, insurers, or contractors
Value protection, because certified building elements are easier to sell and maintain.
Large engineering firms use similar certification systems for major construction projects. LuxConcrete brings this level of expertise to private homes, renovations, and existing buildings, where it matters even more.
-
The certificate is issued after a structured on‑site diagnostic process, including:
Non‑destructive moisture measurements
Material analysis of concrete
Crack mapping
Durability and stability assessment
Classification into a condition grade (A–C)
After the inspection, clients receive an official certificate containing:
The assigned condition grade
A risk assessment
Measurement results
Photo documentation
Technical recommendations
Signature and seal of LuxConcrete Diagnostics
