Why Concrete Testing Matters?

 Slump testing is performed on site during the pour to measure the consistency and workability of fresh concrete. 

 Why it’s important:
•Ensures the mix is suitable for placement
•Confirms compliance with specifications
•Identifies over-watering

•Helps prevent segregation or poor compaction

This is one of the most critical checks before concrete is placed. 

 Concrete cylinders are cast during the pour and later tested in a compression machine to determine the concrete’s actual strength.

Typical test ages include:
•7-day tests (early strength)
•28-day tests (design strength)
•Extended age testing if required

Why it’s important:
•Confirms structural capacity
•Meets engineer and certification requirements
•Provides legal and QA documentation
•Flags under-strength concrete early

This is often the final sign-off for structural elements. 

Some projects require concrete to be tested beyond the standard 28 days — especially for major structural works, specialised mixes or investigations.

   Used for:
•Dispute resolution
•Core testing programs
•Strength verification
•Remediation assessments
•Structural reviews

We help determine whether concrete continues to gain strength as expected. 

Our technicians attend site during pours to carry out:
•Slump tests
•Cylinder moulding
•Temperature checks
•Visual inspection of placement
•Sampling for laboratory analysis

You get immediate feedback on site, followed by formal test reports once lab results are complete.
