METHODOLOGY FOR
FERRO SCANNING

Objective:
The objective of this methodology statement is to outline the procedures and guidelines for conducting ferro scanning
in a commercial building to facilitate coring activities. Ferro scanning is a non-destructive testing technique that utilizes
electromagnetic fields to detect the presence and location of ferrous materials within structural elements, aiding in the
selection of suitable coring locations.

Scope: This methodology statement covers the following aspects of ferro scanning for coring in a commercial building:
a. Equipment and tools required.
b. Safety precautions.
c. Data collection and analysis.
d. Reporting and documentation.
e. Quality control.

Equipment and Tools Required:


a. Ferro scanner (electromagnetic scanner) – HILTI BRAND
b. Surveyor's total station (for precise location recording).
c. Safety equipment, including hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, and appropriate footwear.
d. Marking materials (e.g., chalk, paint, or stickers).
e. Measuring tapes and rulers.
f. Personal protective equipment (PPE).
g. Access equipment (e.g., ladders or scaffolding) as needed.
h. Laptop and USB flash drive

Safety Precautions:
a. Ensure that all personnel involved in the ferro scanning are trained in the safe operation of the equipment.
b. Follow all relevant safety regulations and guidelines, including those for working at heights, if applicable.
c. Secure the work area to prevent unauthorized access.
d. Use PPE at all times.
e. Avoid contact with live electrical components.
f. Be aware of potential hazards, such as tripping hazards and structural weaknesses in the building.

SUBJECT: Methodology for Coring Works

Data Collection and Analysis:


a. Identify the specific areas where coring is required.
b. Set up the ferro scanner in the designated location and calibrate it according to the manufacturer's instructions.
c. Scan the selected areas systematically, ensuring thorough coverage and accurate data collection.
d. Record the data, including the location and depth of ferrous materials.
e. Use a surveyor's total station to accurately mark the locations of interest.
f. Analyze the data to identify suitable coring locations that avoid critical structural elements and hazards.

Reporting and Documentation:


a. Prepare a detailed report summarizing the ferro scanning findings.
b. Include marked-up plans or drawings indicating the selected coring locations.
c. Provide a description of the ferrous materials found and their approximate depths.
d. Include photographs or sketches as necessary to illustrate the findings.

Quality Control:
a. Conduct regular checks on the ferro scanner to ensure it is functioning correctly.
b. Verify the accuracy of the data by cross-referencing with physical inspections.
c. Ensure that all data is recorded accurately and consistently.
d. Review the report for completeness and accuracy before final submission.

Conclusion:
This methodology statement outlines the procedures for conducting ferro scanning in a commercial building to facilitate coring
activities. By following these guidelines and safety precautions, the process can be carried out effectively and safely, ensuring
the integrity of the building structure while obtaining critical information for coring operations.
