There may be a need to assess the strength of the concrete in an existing structure, perhaps to determine its ability to carry additional loads or following modification. This is generally done by taking cores at representative locations in the structure, to give a good overall indication of the strength.
Once recovered, the specimens need to be prepared for compression testing and then assessed for conformity. Our in-house consultancy provides assessment support, guidance and analysis.
