Concrete Testing

Determine the strength, resilience and permeability of concrete in accordance with British standards.

Concrete testing plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and durability of concrete structures. It helps us identify potential weaknesses in the concrete mix, construction process or wider environment, allowing for timely adjustments that safeguard the integrity of your structure.

During the test, we’ll collect samples of freshly mixed concrete from your construction site for various laboratory and field assessments. We’ll look into compressive strength, workability, density and durability to ensure that your concrete meets or exceeds the British industry standards.

The Concrete Testing Process

Our concrete tests measure the compressive strength and resilience of hardened concrete. During the process, we:

  1. Collect samples of freshly mixed concrete from the construction site.
  2. Transport the samples to our laboratory in Kent for testing.
  3. Craft cylindrical and cube-shaped specimens for examination.
  4. Perform a range of tests, including a slump test, air content test, density test, durability test and non-destructive test.
  5. Analyse the data to determine the concrete’s capabilities.
  6. Use our findings to provide a report on the resilience of your concrete.

F.A.Q.

An essential component of any construction project, concrete testing ensures that your concrete meets quality and durability standards.
Why is concrete testing important?
By law, it’s essential to prove the quality, safety and longevity of any concrete structure. Our concrete testing service verifies that your concrete meets the required British standards.
How is data from concrete testing used in construction projects?
The data helps engineers select appropriate concrete mix designs, assess the need for reinforcement and determine placement and curing methods.
How does the environment impact concrete testing?
Temperature, humidity and curing conditions can significantly influence the performance of concrete. However, we always consider and control these factors for reliable results.
What types of projects typically require concrete testing?
Concrete testing is essential for any project where concrete is used as a primary building material. These projects include building construction, infrastructure, road construction and water facility construction.
