Concrete Investigation Surveys

Gain confidence in your concrete structures with advanced non-destructive concrete investigation surveys, revealing hidden defects and structural conditions.

Hidden structural issues can develop long before surface signs appear. Early detection through advanced investigation techniques prevents costly failures and helps maintain structural safety. Our non-destructive concrete testing methods provide detailed insights while preserving structural integrity.

Non-Destructive Concrete Investigation Services

Post-Tensioned Structure Investigations

Specialised inspection of post-tensioned anchors and tendons is crucial for structural safety.

Our comprehensive assessments detect early signs of deterioration, allowing you to implement preventive maintenance before serious issues develop. This proactive approach significantly extends structure lifespan while preventing catastrophic failures.

Concrete Ultrasonic Tomography Imaging

This technology excels at revealing hidden voids and honeycombing that could compromise structural integrity. By identifying construction quality issues and structural anomalies early, you can address problems before they escalate into costly repairs.

Further to this, we conduct Ultrasonic Thickness Testing to accurately measure steel element thickness. This allows us to assess conditions, monitor wear patterns, and detect corrosion before it compromises structural integrity. Regular monitoring helps prevent unexpected failures and optimises maintenance scheduling.

Ground Penetrating Radar

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Surveys are non-destructive scanning method provides crucial insights into your structure’s internal features. We can identify reinforcement positioning with precision, locate potentially dangerous voids, and map service locations to prevent costly accidents during future works.

Ferroscan Surveys

Through precise mapping of reinforcement, we help you plan safe drilling locations and verify construction quality. This detailed information proves invaluable when planning repairs and provides essential documentation of as-built conditions for future reference.

Additionally, we conduct Endoscope Surveys, inspecting internal spaces identifying concealed defects, providing guidance on targeted repairs and verify their effectiveness. This detailed internal documentation helps you make informed decisions about maintenance and repairs.

Void Size Pressure Testing

Our pressure testing methods accurately measure internal voids within your structures. This crucial information helps assess structural stability and guides repair strategies. Early detection of voids prevents water ingress and allows you to monitor deterioration before it becomes critical.

Bond Strength Testing

Our testing evaluates adhesion quality, ensures proper surface preparation, and verifies the effectiveness of waterproofing systems. This information is essential for maintaining structural integrity and preventing delamination issues.

Concrete Investigation Surveys FAQs

Advanced investigation surveys can detect issues years before they become visible on the surface. Early detection allows for planned, targeted repairs rather than costly emergency interventions. Through comprehensive surveying and monitoring, organisations typically reduce their long-term maintenance costs by up to 60%.

While traditional inspection methods rely heavily on visible signs of deterioration, our advanced non-destructive testing techniques provide insights far beyond surface conditions. This deeper understanding of internal structural conditions enables more accurate diagnosis and more effective repair planning, ultimately saving both time and resources.

Maintaining your operations during surveys may be crucial to your business. Our non-destructive techniques are specifically chosen to minimise impact on your daily activities. Survey schedules are carefully planned around your operational needs, and our experienced teams work efficiently to provide rapid preliminary findings followed by detailed reports within agreed timeframes.

Your comprehensive survey report includes detailed structural condition assessments supported by clear visual documentation. Where requested we can provide specific, actionable recommendations prioritised by urgency and importance.

Our concrete investigation surveys are designed to exceed industry standards while meeting all regulatory requirements. Each survey is performed in accordance with relevant British Standards and international guidelines.

Our investigation and testing services ensure that your structural assessments will satisfy both regulatory bodies and insurers, providing complete peace of mind for your compliance needs.
