We are the competent authority to provide such certification.
Concrete Non Destructive Testing
The standard method of evaluating the quality of concrete in buildings or structures is to test specimens cast simultaneously for compressive, flexural and tensile strengths. The main disadvantages are that results are not obtained immediately; that concrete in specimens may differ from that in the actual structure as a result of different curing and compaction conditions; and that strength properties of a concrete specimen depend on its size and shape.
Although there can be no direct measurement of the strength properties of structural concrete for the simple reason that strength determination involves destructive stresses, several non- destructive methods of assessment have been developed.
Repair And Rehabilitation Consultancy
When building is in a very bad structural condition or its stability is not that mush satisfactory, you should go for consult an experienced structural engineer immediately. So we are here to help you Settlement or tilting of building, diagonal cracks at beam column junction, major distress in structural members etc indicate such a need.
