Services Include:

• Analyzing the constituent materials that go into cements and concrete mixes to look for contaminants and to assess the appropriateness for use
• Testing additives for conformance which enables the manufacturer to CE mark and test the adequacy of the finished product
• Testing the physical characteristics of the finished component, i.e. bend, crush and tensile strengths and environmental conditions, e.g. air tightness, water tightness and durability
• Testing load bearing structural panels to destruction
• On-site testing of simulated wind loadings and vertical loading tests
• Destructive and non-destructive testing of whole structures and components in-situ
• Sample analysis for chemical attack
• Forensically analyse concrete to establish likely failures as a result of contaminants, inadequate design or durability factors
• Testing of concrete repair techniques and products to enable them to be CE marked or in-situ when applied to verify their performance.
