NDT Testing
Assessment of concrete structures without damaging structural components — rebound hammer, UPV, cover mapping and condition surveys.
Non-Destructive TestingAssess Structures Without Damage
Non-destructive testing evaluates the condition of concrete structures without disturbing them. Using rebound hammers, ultrasonic pulse velocity, cover meters and core verification, RVCS builds a reliable picture of concrete quality, uniformity and potential defects.
NDT is the first step in structural audits, pre-purchase assessments, renovation planning and dispute resolution — and it is equally useful for verifying the quality of new construction.
Scope of Services
- Rebound hammer surveys for concrete uniformity
- Ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) testing
- Concrete cover and rebar location with cover meters
- Half-cell potential for corrosion risk mapping
- Core extraction and testing for strength calibration
- Crack mapping and visual condition surveys
- Structural audit support and condition assessment reports
Testing & Investigation Methods
- IS 13311 Part 1 — ultrasonic pulse velocity
- IS 13311 Part 2 — rebound hammer
- IS 516 — core strength testing
- ASTM C876 — half-cell potential of reinforcement
- Systematic grid surveys with documented locations
Why Choose RVCS
RVCS NDT teams use calibrated instruments, systematic grids and photographic documentation so results are repeatable and defensible. Findings are presented with clear conclusions and recommended follow-up actions.
