Concrete core extraction and compression tests
Concrete core extraction involves the controlled removal of small cylindrical samples from a structure using diamond drilling equipment.
These samples are then subjected to compression testing in a laboratory, providing a direct assessment of the in-situ concrete’s actual strength. It is the most reliable and accurate method for evaluating concrete quality in buildings and infrastructure.
Highly reliable results
Highly reliable results, obtained through direct measurement of the existing concrete’s compressive strength.
Greater confidence in structural diagnosis
Complements and validates non-destructive testing, offering greater confidence in structural diagnosis.
Decision support
Identifies weaknesses, non-uniformity and degraded areas, essential for informed rehabilitation and strengthening decisions.
Objective and measurable data
Supports safety assessments, providing clear, objective and measurable data.
Controlled intervention
Low-impact and controlled intervention, with the option to reinstate the drilled area after extraction.
Ideal for old structures
Ideal for old structures, buildings subjected to high loads, or projects where the quality of the concrete is uncertain.
