Concrete Materials and Testing
Servicing Contractors and Engineers
Concrete as a construction material is used more than any other man-made material on the planet. About six billion cubic meters of concrete are made each year, which equals one cubic meter for every person on Earth.
Our qualified ACI Concrete Strength Testing Technicians provide a truly independent service for the assessment and testing of reinforced concrete structures to our clients in the engineering and the construction community.
The goal of testing is to measure the strength and consistency of the concrete mix. Many factors are taken into account when satisfying requirements of concrete strength, and to make sure that a consistent mixture of cement is being used during the process of construction according to industry standards and the contracted job specifications.
The concrete slump test, in essence, a method of quality control. For a particular mix, the slump should be consistent. A change in slump height would demonstrate an undesired change in the ratio of the concrete ingredients; the proportions of the ingredients are then adjusted to keep a concrete batch consistent.
