Structural Audits & NDT
Structural Audits
Structural audit is a detailed inspection of a building or structure to assess its condition, safety, and performance.
- To assess the overall condition of a building or structure, including its strength, stability, and durability.
- Includes a visual inspection, as well as more advanced techniques such as non-destructive testing.
- To identify any potential problems or defects that could compromise the safety of the structure and its occupants.
- To identify any safety hazards that may exist in the building, such as weak or damaged structural elements, which can pose a risk to occupants.
- To understand the condition of their property and plan for future maintenance and repairs.
Our expertise in the field of NDT and structural audits makes us the leading service provider in this field. We evaluate the condition of the buildings, which can have a significant impact on the stability and safety of the structure.
Rebound Hammer Test
Rebound hammer test is used to assess the quality and strength of concrete surfaces. It is used in the construction and maintenance of buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure to assess the quality and strength of concrete surfaces.
- To assess the strength and hardness of concrete surfaces.
- To evaluate the compressive strength of the concrete, which is an important factor in determining the durability and safety of a structure.
- To detect areas of low strength or defects in the concrete surface.
- For the evaluation of existing structures, as well as during construction or renovation projects to ensure that the concrete meets design specifications.
At VGeotech Experts, we have the expertise and experience to properly interpret the results of the rebound hammer test.
Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test
Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) test is a non-destructive method of assessing the quality and integrity of concrete structures. UPV testing identifies areas of low strength or damage within concrete.
- To evaluate the quality and integrity of concrete and other building materials.
- To assess the strength, density, and homogeneity of the material, which are important factors in determining the durability and safety of a structure.
- To detect voids, cracks, or other defects in the material.
- To evaluate existing structures, as well as during construction or renovation projects.
At VGeotech Experts, we have the expertise and experience to properly interpret the results of the UPV test to evaluate the strength and quality of the material, identify any areas of weakness or defects, and provide recommendations for repairs or further testing if necessary.
Half cell potentiometer
Half-cell potentiometer test is a non-destructive testing method used to assess the corrosion potential of reinforcing steel within concrete structures. It is used in the construction and maintenance of buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure to assess the corrosion potential of reinforcing steel within concrete structures.
Significance of the test
- To evaluate the condition of reinforcement bars in structure
- To measure the levels of corrosion in reinforcement bars
- To detect and measure magnetic fields produced by electric currents
At VGeotech Experts, our team of well experienced engineers decide appropriate test locations and are capable of interpreting the values.
