Concrete Testing
Quality and strength assessment of concrete — fresh tests at site, cube and core testing in the laboratory, and NDT verification.
Concrete & MaterialsVerify Concrete Quality at Every Stage
Concrete quality is decided long before the structure is occupied — at batching, placing, curing and hardening. RVCS concrete testing covers the complete chain: fresh concrete checks at site, cube strength verification in the laboratory and core-based assessment of hardened concrete.
We work with contractors, consultants and owners to set up test schedules, monitor results against design grades and investigate under-performing concrete with additional NDT and durability tests.
Scope of Services
- Fresh concrete tests — slump, temperature and workability
- Cube casting, curing and compressive strength testing
- Concrete core extraction, trimming and testing
- Mix design trials and verification
- Non-destructive strength estimation — rebound hammer and UPV
- Durability parameters — water absorption and permeability
- Quality monitoring programmes for ongoing projects
