CONCRETE CORING IN QATAR
EIWAA offers most reliable destructive concrete testing services of concrete core cutting and concrete coring services by diamond core drilling technology. This concrete coring and laboratory testing services are used to find out the in-situ strength, concrete quality and durability of hardened concrete structures for structural integrity assessment and quality verification. Civil material testing laboratory services for concrete core testing by mechanical, physical and chemical tests in accordance with ASTM, BS EN, and ISO standards. Concrete core compressive strength testing is performed in accordance with ASTM C42 / BS EN 12504-1 including Density and water absorption test, Rapid chloride penetration test, carbonation depth measurement, permeability testing and chemical analysis.
Our civil engineering specialists perform Compressive strength testing of concrete structures as per ASTM C42/BS EN 12504-1 to determine the compressive strength by correcting core diameter, length to diameter ratio and moisture condition. Density/Water absorption tests by ASTM C642 to assess concrete compaction, pin holes, and concrete durability to evaluate the structural integrity assessment. Concrete Coring Services is a destructive testing method for the concrete quality testing of carbonation depth measurement as well as half-cell potential measurement services. Carbonation depth measurement testing services is a phenolphthalein test used to measure the depth of the carbonated layer of concrete. Half-cell potential measurement services is for detecting steel corrosion in concrete by ASTM C 87 Testing method. In addition to the concrete coring services, we are providing concrete footing services in Qatar for concrete base installation, concrete slab cutting, concrete underpinning and concrete footing design services. Concrete Coring Services and field investigation services includes the following but not limited to,
- Field excavation of trial pits to assess the concrete condition
- Carbonation test, sampling, carbonation measurement and collection of dust samples for laboratory chemical test.
- Profometer survey testing of selected locations for measurements
- Delamination survey
- Crack width opening testing services
- Boreholes and SPT Test
- Field excavation of trial pits to assess the concrete condition
- Wall Scanning Measurement services
- Water leakage detection testing and survey by Acoustic Emission Testing services
- Thermal Imaging Services for building leakage identification services
- Building Envelope Inspection.
Concrete coring and concrete scanning are frequently used with field corrosion measurement services of delamination surveying, chloride content measurement services, concrete resistance measurement, concrete cover depth survey, and carbonation profile measurement services.
CORE CUTTING AND TESTING IN QATAR
Chloride penetration test according to ASTM C 1202 evaluates chloride ion penetration suitable for marine structures, marine environment structure and offshore facilities. Carbonation depth measurement for enabling assessment of reinforcement corrosion risk to improve the service life of concrete.
Water permeability testing by BS EN 12390-8 is used to measure the resistance of concrete to water ingress for durability and long terms structural performance. Our Civil inspection team perform the Civil chemical testing evaluation for finding out the chloride content, sulfate content, cement composition and contamination level.
