A rebar detector is a scanning tool that locates steel reinforcement bars inside concrete, and a covermeter measures the depth of concrete cover over that reinforcement, so you can drill, core and cut safely and check that a structure has been built as designed. GAP Hire Solutions offers rebar detector hire from Hilti, alongside a dedicated covermeter with memory and data logging. The Hilti PS 1000 gives depth indication accurate to ±10mm at depths under 100mm. The Hilti PS 300 and PS 250 systems store scans for analysis, with the PS 250 producing 2D and 3D images, and the handheld Hilti PS 85 detects objects to a maximum depth of 200mm for quick checks before drilling. Using a rebar scanner before you fix anchors, core holes or saw-cut openings helps you avoid striking reinforcement, which protects the structural integrity of the slab or wall as well as your cutting tools. A covermeter is just as useful for structural inspection, condition surveys and concrete repair, where engineers need to confirm cover depths against the specification and find areas at risk of corrosion.
