Process
Scope & test selection
Confirm objectives, access constraints, and the right mix of tests for the decision you need to make.
On-site execution
Coordinate visits, safety, sampling, and measurements, capturing reliable data without disrupting operations.
Laboratory analysis
Controlled testing and verification with traceable records for engineers, consultants, and authorities.
Reporting & next steps
Deliver clear findings, interpretation, and documentation that supports approvals and confident action.
Coverage
Cylindrical cores are extracted from slabs, beams, columns, and foundations to measure actual in-situ compressive strength. Testing is performed in controlled laboratory conditions in line with ASTM, BS, and local requirements.
A fast non-destructive method to assess concrete surface hardness and estimate compressive strength on site. Rebound values are correlated using calibrated charts in accordance with ASTM C805 and BS EN guidance.

UPV testing evaluates concrete quality, uniformity, and internal integrity without damage. Pulse velocity helps identify cracks, voids, honeycombing, and potential defects as per ASTM C597 and BS EN standards.

Using cover meters and GPR, we detect rebar location, depth, spacing, and concrete cover thickness. This supports safe coring, drilling, anchoring, and structural modification planning.
Crack width and depth measurements help determine whether defects are superficial or structurally significant. Testing combines precision gauges or microscopes with ultrasonic or probe-based depth verification.
Geotechnical boreholes and laboratory analysis assess soil bearing capacity, moisture, density, shear strength, and settlement behavior. Results support safe and cost-effective foundation design.
Surface moisture testing confirms readiness before flooring, coating, or waterproofing applications. It helps prevent coating failures, flooring damage, and long-term durability issues due to trapped moisture.
Half-cell potential testing assesses the probability of active corrosion in embedded reinforcement. Measurements follow ASTM C876 and support early-stage durability and rehabilitation planning.
This test measures carbonation penetration depth in concrete, typically using a phenolphthalein indicator on freshly exposed surfaces. Results help evaluate durability and corrosion protection performance over time.
Laboratory analysis quantifies sulphate and chloride content in concrete and construction materials. This is especially important in coastal and high-humidity UAE environments where chemical attack and corrosion risks are elevated.
A semi-destructive method that estimates in-situ concrete strength by measuring the force required to extract an embedded insert. Testing follows ASTM C900 and supports structural evaluation where core extraction is limited.
