NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING OF STRUCTURES

Building condition survey, structural analysis and audit, pile integrity testing and assessment of vulnerable structures

Non destructive Testing (NDT) is used to examine condition or quality of a structure without damaging it. We offer the following services using state-of-the-art testing techniques:

Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC)

– Rebound Hammer tests for assessing the concrete compressive strength.
– Ultrasonic pulse velocity tests for establishing quality of concrete.
– Drilling out concrete cores for laboratory testing to determine compressive strength.
– Tests for determining depth of carbonation in concrete.
– Half-cell potential tests for determining likelihood of corrosion of reinforcement.
– Tests for determining the chloride & sulphate contents in concrete.
– Rebar locator tests for determining details of rebars in various RCC members and for assessing concrete cover.
– Permeability of insitu concrete.
– Pull Out (LOK), Pull Off and Break Off Tests.

CONDITION SURVEY

Mapping defects in buildings, bridges and dams through rapid visual survey to plan NDT locations for effective testing.
