That’s why our concrete testing services aid our clients as we can inspect, measure and analyse samples to determine structural integrity. Developed and improved with innovation and technology over time, our reliable concrete testing services ensure that your concrete is safe.

The Critical Role of Concrete Testing in Construction Projects

Designed to give you confidence that the concrete used for your construction build is of a sound nature, concrete testing is carried out at various times throughout your project to ensure that there are no underlying structural issues to worry about. Delivered using a variety of testing methods including a slump test, compressive strength test and air content test, these key processes can take place 7, 14 and 28 days after pouring to confirm the compressive strength of the concrete and to give you peace of mind. If the results show that there is an issue then this is a key indication that the formula of the concrete needs to be altered for a superior outcome.

Enhancing Project Quality Through Regular Concrete Testing

Regular concrete testing is vital to the success of your construction project. It demonstrates structural integrity and durability, giving evidence that your building is going to last thanks to the strong nature of the concrete. One of the main concrete testing benefits is that the results can signal warning signs of low-quality concrete with indicators such as cracking, scaling and chemical damage which are detrimental to any building. This is not only a costly investment to repair but is fundamentally unsafe. Project managers want to trust that concrete is of the highest of standards, that’s why we sample various batches in concrete cube test moulds. By testing the compression, slump, density and flexural strength, the report with our findings gives you a clear analysis and showcases that you are meeting health and safety standards and building regulations.

Benefits of Regular Concrete Testing for Different Project Types

Concrete testing can be utilised for a variety of different types of projects. From major civil engineering projects to small ground words, farms, domestic driveways and DIY projects. The advantages of having concrete testing carried out for all manner of constructions, regardless of size, provide satisfaction that it will withstand harsh weather conditions, heavy footfall, general wear and tear, and will remain in good condition for years to come. It inevitably leads to better project outcomes and our highly experienced team will be able to tailor the testing according to your environment and what you’d like to achieve.
