NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test Ultrasonic pulse velocity testing equipment, wherein the ultrasonic pulses are passed through the median to obtain the integrity of concrete. Rebound Hammer Test : Surface strength of concrete can be measured using rebound hammer test which is a quick test. Profometer / Cover Meter Test : Existing cover to  reinforcement and size of the embedded reinforcement can be measured using profometer or  covermeter. Electrochemical Half-cell Potentiometer test : Electrochemical halfcell potentiometer readings can be obtained by potentiometer in (-) mili volts.   Carbonation Test Impact echo test Impact Echo (IE) test is used to determine the internal flaws like honey combs, cracks inside the deck which includes  deck debonding, delamination and integrity. Concrete Core extraction and Testing GPR – Ground Penetrating Radar (Geophysical Services)

We have experience in load testing of 23 nos. of metro rail spans in India. We have NABL accreditation from Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, which is as per ISO/IEC-17025 to carryout and to certify such tests. Here the span load test itself is accredited.   Record breaking test was carried out with load of 524 MT on span of 56.3m in Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd., Next record breaking load of 406 MT on a span of 45.0m again in Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation.

Pile Integrity Testing/ Low strain Integrity Testing Dynamic Pile Testing/ High strain dynamic pile analyzer Static pile load testing: Kenteledge load test Method Reaction beam load test Method/ Rock Anchoring Method Lateral load test Pullout load test Bi-Directional load testing   Pile integrity Tester (PIT) performs Low Strain Integrity Testing, . Conforms to ASTM D5882 & various codes worldwide Can be used for : Detection of potentially dangerous defects such as major cracks, necking, soil inclusions or voids Integrity of pile in its total length Can determine unknown length of pile that support existing bridges or towers   High Strain Dynamic Pile Testing Dynamic Load Testing is conducted independent of pile installation process. The test has primary goal of assessment of bearing capacity . It is applicable to drilled shafts, continuous flight auger, Cast-in-situ and driven piles   Dynamic Pile Monitoring It is conducted during the impact driving of steel, concrete or timber piles to contribute to safe and economical pile installation. Most important results of this test are soil resistance to driving, hammer performance, dynamic pile stresses during driving and pile integrity. Soft ware used is CAse Pile Wave Analysis Program (CAPWAP) – Determines Static soil resistance Simulates a static load test Static shaft resistance Magnitude and distribution Static end bearing Stresses at any point along the shaft Energy transferred from the ram to the foundation. Benefits at a Glance : Evaluates the bearing capacity of driven piles, drilled shafts and auger cast(CFA) piles Tests deep foundation integrity quickly and economically Checks pile stresses and hammer performance Used worldwide for more than 30 Years Proven reliable on thousands of construction sites Specified by Engineers, Contractors, Government agencies Conforms to international standards and ASTM D4945.   Recognition Dynamic testing is officially recognized by: American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) Deep Foundations Institute(DFI) Pile Driving Contractors Association (PDCA) American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) American Association of State Highway Transportaion Officials (AASHTO) Many U.S. State Highway departments U.S.Army Corps of Engineers International Building Code (IBC 2000) Numerous International Organizations
