These technologies allow us to conduct integrity and durability testing and produce detailed 3D interpretations of concrete structures without sampling or destruction. 

Forensic Investigations

Non-Destructive

Forensic Investigations

01


Subsurface Utility Scanning

Detailed outdoor mapping of earthworks, sites, parks and public areas up to 10m, showing drain pipes, electrical lines, fibre lines and more.

02


Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

A non-destructive surface penetrating system that measures slab thickness and maps reinforcement, post and pre-tension cables, live wires, service lines, pipes and drains.

03


Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity and Echo

Locate sub-surface targets in concrete to assess strength, durability, slab thickness and the severity of honey combing and delaminations.

04


Half Cell Potential (Reinforcement Corrosion)

This determines the extent of the corrosion of reinforcement within a concrete structure.

05


Pull-off Testing Screed, Epoxy and Coatings

Evaluate the pull-off strength (adhesion) of a coating from a rigid substrate such as a concrete or metal floor.

06


Pull-out Testing Chemical Anchors, Fixings

A test rig is attached to a bolt, screw, anchor or fixing and put under tension to the designed stress load level to determine how strong and secure the fixing is.

07


Cover Surveys

Determining the reinforcing depth in an existing concrete structure with the use of an ferromagnetic meter.

08


Reinforcement Diameter

Used to determine the exact diameter of reinforcement bars in concrete through the use of an elcometer.

09


Crack Width Measurement

A test to investigate crack width on a variety of concrete structures using photographic recording with a micron.

10


Rebound (Schmidt) Hammer

This device measures the elastic properties or strength of concrete or rock, mainly surface hardness and penetration resistance.

11


Heat of Hydration Monitoring

Monitors the heat flow from concrete while the specimen is under an insulated condition and has no or very little heat loss.

12


Drone Surveys

Generate accurate topographical maps or 3D models of larger / hard to access areas using LIDAR technology.
