Concrete testing is performed as part of quality control analysis of concrete structures. Different quality tests on concrete such as compressive strength tests, slump tests and permeability tests are used to ensure the quality of the concrete that is supplied is appropriate for a given specification. Fresh concrete tests measure factors such as strength, consistency, unit weight, air content, and temperature. By performing such tests consistently, you can detect changes in concrete that could affect its long-term performance.
Our wide scope of sampling and testing methods are based on current British and European Standards, and we are UKAS accredited for concrete core sampling in accordance with BS EN 12504-1:2019. In support of core logging and reporting services, we also test the strength of concrete cores by measuring the compressive strength and density in accordance with BS EN 12390-3:2019, BS EN 12390-1:2021, BS EN 12390-7:2019, and BS EN 12504-1:2019. These results can be tied to FWD data and give a good indication of the pavements load bearing performance.
