CONCRETE TESTING
UKAS-accredited testing of fresh and hardened concrete, on site and in our laboratory.
ACCURATE RESULTS YOU CAN BUILD ON
Every pour depends on evidence that the concrete meets its specification. PACT provides UKAS-accredited concrete testing from our Bilston laboratory and our on-airport laboratories at Manchester and Leeds Bradford.
From sampling at the point of placement to cube crushing, core testing and in-situ assessment, our technicians deliver traceable, clearly reported results that engineers, clients and auditors can rely on.
OUR TESTING SERVICES
Fresh Concrete Testing on Site Sampling, slump, flow, air content, fresh density and temperature to BS EN 12350, with cubes made and cured correctly from the moment they are cast.
Compressive & Flexural Strength controlled water curing and compressive strength testing to BS EN 12390,
Cores & In-Situ Strength Diamond-drilled cores, examination and testing, with in-situ strength assessment to BS EN 13791 when conformity is in question.
Surface Regularity and Surface texture Testing: As per DIO and British Standards
Non-Destructive Testing Rebound hammer surveys, cover meter surveys and other in-situ methods to assess concrete without breaking out. (Note: We are not UKAS accredited for non-destructive testing)
Trial Mixes & Materials Laboratory trial mixes and supporting materials testing to prove a mix before it reaches site.
FAST, CLEAR REPORTING
Results are only useful if they arrive in time to act on. We report quickly and in a format your team can use.
What you get
- Test certificates issued promptly after testing (state PACT’s actual turnaround, e.g. “same working day”)
- Results sent direct to your engineer or consultant on request
- Early alerts when a result falls below specification, so you can act before the next pour
- Clear conformity reporting against the specified strength class
- Support from our concrete technologists if a result needs investigating
