We provide the following Cladding and Steel Testing:
Hardness Testing
Hardness testing on-site and, in the lab, using our Proceq Equotip portable hardness tester for Leeb, Brinell, Rockwell and Vickers scales. Assessment of mild steel, stainless steel and high carbon steel. We can also provide an estimate of tensile strength where sample extraction is not practical.
Extraction Of Steel Samples
Extraction of steel samples from reinforced concrete and steel structures for assessment of tensile strength, yield strength, chemical analysis and type identification.
Assessment Of Coatings
Assessment of coatings thickness and steel thickness using the Elcometer range of NDT equipment.
Load & Impact Testing Of Sheet Steel Cladding
One of our key cladding and steel testing services is the load testing and impact testing of sheet steel cladding for compliance with EN standards and Department of Agriculture specifications. Our custom build false roof testing rig allows for the testing of full-length sheets in box profile or corrugate. Proof and failure loading of steel, concrete and timber purlins up to eight meters.
