Concrete testing

We offer the following tests for concrete:

• Petrographic examination of hardened concrete: Determines the mineralogical and chemical characteristics of hardened concrete samples.
• Fresh concrete tests (slump, unit weight, air content, kelly ball penetration):  Measures consistency, air content, and unit weight of fresh concrete.
• Chloride ion penetration test: Quantifies the durability of concrete by measuring the resistance to the penetration of chloride ion.
• Flexural beam test: The 55,000 lb capacity Instron measures the flexural strength of concrete beams.
• Uniaxial tension test:  A new Instron tensile testing machine with 55,000 lb capacity measures the tensile behavior of concrete (Dog bone test).
• Compression test: Satec 500,000 lb capacity compression-testing machine can handle any type of concrete sample (including UHPC) in any shape.
