Concrete and Aggregates
Concrete and aggregates used in your construction projects have to meet CSA strict regulations and quality standards. These standards often require testing by an independent third-party and is necessary to help assure compliance. I offer a full range of testing services which ensures the quality of your concrete and aggregate mixes. To meet the CSA Regulations and Standards. CSA has standard and practise for before concrete is poured, during pour and after the pour for the curing of your concrete to meet the engineering requirements specified for your project.
Concrete Testing
I offer you concrete testing and monitoring at every stage of your project. Starting at the plant and on-site air content and slump testing as you pour your concrete, through to testing hardened samples for physical characteristics in a CSA laboratory.
Testing includes:
- On site sampling of fresh concrete, air content and slump testing
- Making and curing test samples on your site and in my laboratory
- Compressive and flexural strength testing
- Obtaining and testing cores from hardened concrete
- Density testing of fresh and hardened concrete
- Testing for the compressive strength of grout
- Water absorption and permeable voids testing
- Schmitt Hammer testing
- Pumping performance
- Chlorite testing
- Enhance productivity rate
- Trouble Shoot Concrete Issuing ,pour rates, temperature control, slumps control, air control, and pumping of concrete
Materials Engineering
