Precision Rebar Detection & Concrete Cover Measurement Across UAE. Non-destructive electromagnetic scanning to locate rebars, measure concrete cover depth, and estimate rebar diameter — essential before any core cutting or drilling.
The Profometer PM8000 uses electromagnetic pulse induction technology to detect reinforcement bars inside concrete structures. It is the world's most compact and lightweight cover meter — locating rebar position and spacing, measuring concrete cover depth to ±1mm accuracy, and estimating rebar diameter, all without breaking the surface. It works equally well on floors, walls, ceilings, columns, and beams, with 8 hours of battery autonomy for full-day operation on-site.
Our technician passes the PM8000 over the concrete surface. The device uses pulse induction to sense embedded steel rebars and instantly displays their position, depth, and estimated diameter.
The PM8000 maps concrete cover across the scan area, identifying zones where cover is insufficient or where rebar is too close to the surface for safe drilling.
Safe drilling or core cutting points are marked on-site. Data is exported via CSV and Screening Eagle Workspace for your project records.
Proceq Profometer PM8000
The Proceq Profometer PM8000 is the world's most compact and lightweight electromagnetic cover meter. Using pulse induction technology, it detects rebar position and spacing, measures concrete cover to ±1mm accuracy, and estimates rebar diameter — all in a single handheld device. With 8 hours of battery autonomy and cloud connectivity via Screening Eagle Workspace, it is the benchmark instrument for rebar cover mapping on modern construction and renovation projects.
The PM8000 is Proceq's most advanced handheld cover meter. Its electromagnetic pulse induction technology delivers ±1mm cover depth accuracy — far beyond the requirements of UAE construction standards. The compact form factor allows scanning in confined spaces and overhead surfaces where other instruments struggle. Swiss engineering means repeatable, reliable results on every project.
Locates rebar position and spacing with pinpoint accuracy. Know exactly where the steel is before you cut or drill.
Measures concrete cover to ±1mm accuracy — the most precise cover measurement available for on-site use.
Estimates bar diameter without breaking the surface, providing critical data for structural assessments and renovation planning.
Identifies exact safe spots before any cutting or drilling, eliminating the risk of accidentally hitting reinforcement.
Floors, walls, ceilings, columns, and beams — the PM8000 scans any concrete surface in any orientation.
Data exported via CSV and Screening Eagle Workspace for digital project records, reports, and team collaboration.
We discuss your project requirements — the surfaces to be scanned, the planned drill or cut locations, and any structural concerns. We confirm access and plan the scan area before mobilising.
Our technician scans the concrete surface with the Profometer PM8000, mapping rebar positions, cover depths, and estimated diameters across the planned work area.
Safe drilling or core cutting points are marked directly on the surface, clearly identifying rebar-free zones for your cutting team to proceed with confidence.
Scan data is exported via CSV and Screening Eagle Workspace. A professional report is provided for your project records, documenting cover depths, rebar positions, and safe cutting locations.
The Profometer PM8000 is an electromagnetic cover meter used to detect rebar inside concrete, measure concrete cover depth to ±1mm accuracy, and estimate rebar diameter — all without damaging the surface. It is widely used before core cutting, drilling, and structural inspections.
The Profometer PM8000 measures concrete cover to ±1mm accuracy, making it one of the most precise cover meters available for on-site use.
The PM8000 uses electromagnetic pulse induction to detect rebar and measure cover depth — it is optimised for cover mapping and rebar location in concrete. GPR (GP8000) uses radar waves and can detect a wider range of objects at greater depths, including post-tension cables, conduits, and voids. For pre-core-cutting rebar checks, the PM8000 is fast and precise. For deeper or more complex structures, GPR is preferred.
Yes. At Bhadeya Technical Services, every core cutting and drilling job is preceded by either a PM8000 or GPR scan to identify rebar positions and confirm safe cutting points. This protects structural integrity and ensures worker safety on every project.
Rebar cover mapping in Dubai is essential before any core cutting, drilling, or structural modification work in concrete buildings and infrastructure. The Profometer PM8000 allows Bhadeya's team to quickly identify rebar positions and cover depths across floors, walls, and ceilings — ensuring no reinforcement bar is accidentally struck during cutting operations. We provide PM8000 scanning services across Dubai, from commercial towers to residential developments and industrial facilities.
We provide Profometer PM8000 rebar cover mapping across all UAE emirates — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Al Ain. Our team is fully mobile and equipped to deploy on construction, renovation, and inspection projects of any size. PM8000 scanning is typically completed same-day, with data available immediately for your project team.
Every core cut or drill at Bhadeya Technical Services starts with a PM8000 scan. Accidentally hitting a rebar during core cutting can damage the diamond bit, delay the job, and — critically — compromise the structural integrity of the concrete member. The PM8000 eliminates that risk in minutes. It is the fastest, most accurate way to confirm safe drilling points before any penetration work begins, protecting both the structure and your team.
