Concrete Testing FAQs

When a healthcare trust approached us about their aging infrastructure, they were concerned about meeting NHS estates compliance requirements. We developed a tailored testing programme that mapped their structures against current standards and identified compliance gaps. This systematic approach not only ensured compliance but also gave them confidence in their asset management strategy.

Our comprehensive testing regime includes detailed documentation of all procedures and results, providing a clear audit trail for regulatory inspections. We stay current with evolving standards and regulations, ensuring that our clients’ testing programmes meet or exceed all requirements. This proactive approach to compliance has helped numerous organisations successfully navigate regulatory audits and demonstrate their commitment to structural safety.

We understand that maintaining business continuity is crucial. Through the development of a phased programme, we can conduct major testing outside trading or operational hours and use rapid non-destructive techniques during quiet periods.

Our testing programmes are designed to:

  • Use non-destructive methods where possible
  • Work around your operational schedules
  • Provide rapid results
  • Include clear recommendations for action

By implementing a systematic testing schedule, we help you transform your approach from reactive to proactive maintenance. We identify early-stage deterioration in specific areas, allowing you to plan targeted repairs during off-peak periods.

Through comprehensive testing and monitoring, you can extend maintenance intervals significantly while reducing emergency repair incidents. The data-driven insights we provide allows you to prioritise repairs effectively, leading to substantial cost savings. Most importantly, avoid any unplanned closures, maintaining consistent service for your business.

Postponing recommended testing or considering it a non-urgent expense, can lead to emergency site shutdown as not all structural deterioration is visible. Retrospective repairs and production losses are costly compared to preventive testing programs.

The risks extend beyond immediate structural concerns. Without regular testing, you could face:

  • Unexpected structural failures
  • Expensive emergency repairs
  • Health and safety risks
  • Regulatory non-compliance
  • Increased insurance costs

Visual indicators like cracking or spalling are obvious signs that testing is needed, but age-related concerns and changed usage patterns should also prompt investigation. Many of our clients find that environmental exposure, particularly in coastal areas or industrial settings, can accelerate concrete deterioration even when structures appear sound from the outside. Early detection through regular testing typically saves our clients 60-70% compared to emergency repairs.
