Services
Concrete Cube Testing
Concrete cube testing assesses the compressive strength of concrete samples, ensuring compliance with BS EN 12390 standards. We cast and cure samples in controlled conditions before crushing to determine strength. This test verifies concrete quality and informs mix adjustments to optimise cost and performance.
Slump Test
The slump test evaluates the workability of fresh concrete by measuring its consistency and water content. Conducted on-site in accordance with British standards, this simple yet critical test ensures uniformity across concrete batches for reliable construction outcomes.
Plate Bearing Test
Plate bearing tests determine the ultimate bearing capacity of soil and settlement under load, following BS1377 Part 9:1990. This on-site assessment supports the design of temporary structures like piling rigs and crane pads, providing safe bearing capacity calculations with UKAS-accredited accuracy.
CBR Test
The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test measures subgrade strength for road and pavement design. Conducted on-site, it informs material thickness requirements and ensures compliance with construction specifications, particularly for projects requiring CD225 pavement foundation standards.
Pile Integrity Test
Pile integrity testing identifies cracks or voids in concrete or wood foundations before superstructure construction. This non-destructive method assesses pile length, stiffness, and mobility, ensuring structural reliability for bridges, towers, and other critical infrastructure.
