Concrete Rebar Locators

Designed specifically to identify the location and orientation of reinforcement bars and other below surface metal objects.

Locating steel reinforcement bars and metal pipes is essential in the construction and maintenance of structures. Damage caused when a drill or a fastener makes contact with a pipe is costly. A drill making contact with rebar, however, not only destroys the drill bit but also can seriously weaken the rebar, leading to serious structural damage.

Before carrying out any maintenance work, it is vital to identify the location, orientation and depth of sub-surface metalwork.

Covermeters

Designed primarily to indicate the depth of concrete cover at a given point over reinforcement bars and other sub-surface metal objects. Additional functionality within the Elcometer range of covermeters includes rebar location, orientation and bar size (diameter) determination.

The Elcometer P100 is a robust and economical gauge designed to identify the location and orientation of reinforcement bars, metal gas and metal water pipes. Mild steel and stainless steel galvanised wall ties can also be found with the addition of an optional Search Coil (or probe).

The Elcometer P120 rebar locator is perhaps the easiest and fastest way of detecting reinforcing bars in concrete. Widely used before coring or drilling holes to find “safe spots”, the Elcometer P120 will not only indicate the rebar's location and direction but will also give an indication of the depth of concrete cover.
