Concrete Condition Surveys

Inspection and survey of concrete structures for concrete condition, including:

surveys for visual defects
soundness
half-cell corrosion potentials
cover
resistivity
chemical analysis (carbonation, chloride content, sulphate content, cement content, etc.)
petrographic analysis (air entrainment, AAR, SCM’s)
physical properties (compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, sorptivity, permeability).

Specialised Concrete Testing

Specialised studies of thermal and physical characteristics of concrete and grout systems. Specialised laboratory and site testing for thermal, stress and strain characteristics, compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, carbonation rates, water permeability and section properties.

Concrete Technology

Selection, specification and quality assurance of concrete materials. Development of specifications for concrete to meet strict performance criteria.

Concrete Repair

Specification and supervision for repair of commercial and industrial buildings and floors, bridges, pavements and other structures. Development and evaluation of repair products and systems.

Waterproofing Investigations

Investigations into causes and pathways for moisture penetration into structures or buildings. Assessment of cracks in concrete. Assessment of impact of moisture on structural members and internal finishes. Remedial waterproofing recommendations, specifications and supervision.

Repair and Maintenance Specifications

Recommendations and options for concrete repair, including conventional and advanced electrochemical procedures. Specifications and supervision of concrete repair work.

Protection and Coatings

Assessments and recommendations for protection coating or treatment of concrete. Aesthetic, chemical resistance, waterproofing, prevention of corrosion of reinforcing steel, abrasion resistance, crack repair.

Coating specifications, coating inspection, contract administration of coating or treatment contracts.

Facade Investigations

General investigations on concrete or masonry facades.
