Fresh Concrete Testing Services

Fresh concrete testing ensures your mix meets specifications before it hardens, preventing costly rework and project delays. Our certified technicians perform comprehensive on-site testing to verify workability, durability, and compliance with Alberta Building Code requirements.

  • Slump testing - workability assessment on-site
  • Air content testing - freeze-thaw durability
  • Temperature monitoring - proper curing conditions
  • Unit weight testing - density verification Bleeding and segregation analysis

Hardened Concrete Strength Testing

Hardened concrete testing verifies that your structure meets design strength requirements and ensures long-term structural integrity. We provide comprehensive strength analysis using industry-standard testing methods with results you can trust for critical construction decisions.

  • Compression strength testing (7, 14, 28-day cylinders)
  • Core drilling and testing - existing structures
  • Flexural strength testing - beam specimens
  • Split tensile strength - indirect tension testing
  • Maturity testing - real-time strength estimation

Advanced Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

Non-destructive testing allows us to evaluate concrete structures without damaging the existing material, making it ideal for renovations and structural assessments. Our advanced NDT services provide critical information about concrete condition, thickness, and internal defects without compromising structural integrity.

  • Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) - rebar location, thickness measurement
  • Rebound hammer testing - surface hardness assessment
  • Ultrasonic pulse velocity - structural integrity evaluation
  • Carbonation depth testing - durability assessment
  • Chloride content analysis - corrosion potential
