For concrete scanning, technicians need clear information about the project location, the type of concrete structure, and the planned work. Details about drilling, coring, cutting, anchoring, or other modifications help determine which areas need to be scanned and the appropriate scanning approach.

The concrete surface should be reasonably accessible and clear of unnecessary materials or obstructions so scanning equipment can be moved across the required areas. When available, construction drawings, structural plans, floor plans, and information about known rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, or embedded utilities can also provide useful context for the scanning process.

Before scanning begins, it is important to identify the exact locations where drilling, coring, cutting, or installation will take place. Providing accurate project details allows technicians to focus on the relevant areas and identify potential embedded features, helping support safer concrete work, better planning, and reduced risk of damaging critical components.
