Concrete Science® engineers are amongst the most experienced in nondestructive testing. This unique experience allows us to minimize the testing time and cost for our clients.
Nondestructive tests are used for three primary reasons:
Quality control or troubleshooting of new construction
Condition evaluation of existing structures
Quality assurance of concrete repairs
Typical applications of nondestructive testing are:
Locating voids, honeycombs, and delamination
Determining rebar depth and member dimensions
Determining the rate of reinforcement corrosion
Typical nondestructive tests methods:
Schmidt Hammer, Pulse Velocity
Impact Echo & Impulse Response
Ground Penetrating Radar
Cross-hole Sonic Logging
Load/Deflection Test
Reinforcement Corrosion Test
