Our Testing Services

Amtest’s Concrete Assessment services provide independent testing and analysis to help clients understand the condition, performance, and durability of concrete in existing structures or construction works. These services support engineers, contractors, and asset owners in evaluating concrete quality, identifying potential issues, and making informed decisions about compliance, maintenance, repair, or further investigation.

Asbestos and Hazardous Material Identification

Identification of asbestos-containing materials and other hazardous substances within a structure to support safe refurbishment, demolition, or maintenance activities.

Concrete Assessment

Carbonation Assessment

Testing used to measure the depth of carbonation in concrete, which reduces alkalinity and can increase the risk of reinforcement corrosion.

Concrete Assessment

Chloride and Sulphate Assessment

Laboratory analysis used to measure chloride and sulphate concentrations within concrete that may contribute to corrosion or chemical attack.

Concrete Assessment

Core Drilling 75mm Diameter

Extraction of 75 mm diameter concrete cores from a structure for laboratory testing or inspection.

Concrete Assessment

Core Logs and Compression Test

Documentation of extracted concrete cores followed by compressive strength testing to assess the in-situ strength and condition of the concrete.

Concrete Assessment

Dilapidation Survey

A detailed condition survey of a building or structure carried out to document its existing state before nearby construction or demolition work begins.

Concrete Assessment

Environmental and Fire Assessment

Evaluation of environmental exposure conditions and fire performance considerations affecting the durability and safety of a structure.

Concrete Assessment

Existing Fire Protection Measures

Inspection and assessment of current fire protection systems and materials within a structure to verify compliance and effectiveness.

Concrete Assessment

Ground Penetrating Radar Survey

A non-destructive scanning method used to detect reinforcement, voids, and embedded services within concrete or the ground.

Concrete Assessment

Half Cell Potential (Corrosion Testing)

Electrochemical testing used to assess the probability of reinforcement corrosion within concrete structures over a defined grid area.
