Concrete and cement testing
Testing of fresh and hardened concrete, cement and mixing water. Assess workability, strength, absorption and other properties against the project specification.
Confirm the test method, sample requirements and applicable accreditation scope before booking.
-
Cement Chemical Analysis
Chemical analysis of cement to determine its composition. The required parameters and methods are agreed for the sample and specification.
-
Cement Physical Analysis
Physical testing of cement, including fineness, setting time, soundness and strength. Select the tests required by the material specification.
-
Concrete Air Content Test
Air content testing measures the proportion of air in fresh concrete. Results are compared with the project’s concrete mix requirements.
-
Concrete Chloride Content Test
Laboratory analysis measures chloride content in concrete samples. Results support assessment of chloride exposure and reinforcement corrosion risk.
-
Concrete Cube Test
Compression testing of cured concrete cubes to measure compressive strength. Results are assessed at the specified test age.
-
Drying Oven Test
Oven-drying tests measure moisture content from the change in sample mass after drying. Suitable for soil, sand and aggregate samples under the selected method.
-
Flexural Strength Test
Flexural testing measures the bending strength of concrete beam specimens. Results support pavement and other concrete specifications.
-
Rapid Chloride Permeability Test (RCPT)
RCPT measures electrical charge passed through a concrete specimen as an indicator of resistance to chloride-ion penetration. It is separate from water penetration testing under pressure.
-
Slump Test
Slump testing measures the consistency of fresh concrete before placement. Results support checks on batch uniformity and the specified workability.
-
Water Absorption Test
Water absorption testing measures the water taken up by a prepared sample. The preparation and calculation depend on the material and specified method.
-
Water Permeability Test
Testing of water penetration into concrete under pressure. Results support assessment of the concrete’s resistance to water ingress.
-
Water Test for Concrete
Analysis of water intended for concrete mixing. The required checks are selected against the project specification and relevant water-quality criteria.
