At Concrete Science®, our experienced engineers develop detailed scopes of investigation, using the optimal balance of destructive and non-destructive methods to ensure accurate and efficient testing. This approach allows us to diagnose the causes of deterioration or failure in concrete structures effectively.
A thorough understanding of the physical, chemical, and mechanical factors contributing to defects is essential in forensic analysis. Structural deterioration can arise from design flaws, improper construction practices, material issues, environmental conditions, or applied loads. With extensive experience in investigating building distress, our engineers provide expert insights to identify root causes and recommend actionable solutions.
Typical Investigations Include:
Diagnosing structural cracks
Assessing rebar corrosion
Detecting honeycombing and voids
Investigating coating and flooring failures
Evaluating load capacity
Analyzing fire damage and environmental effects
Testing material strength and quality
Identifying construction and design defects
Ensuring code conformance
Whether you’re addressing immediate concerns or planning long-term maintenance, Concrete Science® delivers precise and reliable assessments tailored to your structure’s needs.
