A structural assessment involves evaluating the overall integrity and performance of an existing structure or building. Our experienced professionals conduct various tests and inspections to analyze the overall condition of these structures
– Visual inspection – site survey
– Acoustic impact testing
– Rebound hammer testing (Schmidt Hammer)
– GPR survey
– Thermal imaging ( Building )
– Ultrasonic pulse velocity testing
– Half-cell Potential Survey (Corrosion Analysis)
– Exploratory excavations
– Sample extraction (Core Extraction for Strength & Chemical Analysis)
– Depth of Carbonation for Freshly Fractured Surface in Concrete
– Petrographic Analysis for Concrete & Rocks
– Concrete Slab / Wall Cutting Services
– Impact echo testing
– Rebar Scanning (Cover meter)
– Crack depth and width measuring
– Water Leakage Detect Inspection Service
– Concrete Resistivity Test
– Field Load Test on Concrete Structures

Non-Destructive Testing for Structural Condition Assessment
– Cross-Sectional Dimensions
– Rebar Size
– Rebar Spacing and Pattern
– Concrete Cover Thickness
– Concrete Element Thickness with one side access only
– Location of pre-stressing/post-tensioning tendons in Concrete Girders and slabs.
– Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
– Ultrasonic methods, such as Ultrasonic Pulse Echo
NDT Methods for Evaluation of Structural Integrity
o Concrete Cracks
o Voids and Cavities in Concrete
o Delamination in Concrete Slabs, Bridge Decks, etc.
o Bond issues (Old and New Concrete)
o Poor quality materials (Honeycombing)
o Deteriorated concrete (Alkali-Silica Reactions, Weathered Concrete, etc.)
o Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) can be used to evaluate the quality of concrete material, as well as studying the crack depth.
Non-Destructive Evaluation of Concrete Strength
- Rebound Hammer (Schmidt Hammer) test.
- pull-out testing, to evaluate the compressive strength of concrete.
Corrosion Assessment
- Half-Cell Corrosion Potential for evaluating the likelihood of corrosion in concrete
Durability of Concrete
– Surface Electrical Resistivity for evaluating durability performance of concrete.
