Structural load testing services.

Broad-based structural load testing services, monitoring and assessment for a range of structures.

Through structural load testing services and assessments, our teams evaluate the performance, integrity and compliance of various types of structures. As members of technical committees, EXP’s specialists have contributed to the development of new standards for structural load testing and materials.

Field Load Testing

• Guardrail load testing: Load testing to verify guardrails meet load requirements.
• Anchor pull-out / shear load testing: Evaluating the tensile and shear strength of anchors installed in concrete.
• Roof anchor load testing: Verifying the strength of roof anchors.
• Rebar dowel pull-out testing: Assessing the bond strength of rebar dowels in concrete structures.
• Concrete bond testing: Measuring the bond strength of concrete overlays and repairs.
• Traffic topping / coating bond testing: Testing the tensile pull-off bond strength between traffic topping systems / coatings and concrete structures.
• Slab load testing: Evaluating the load capacity and deflection performance of concrete slabs.
• Bridge load testing: Assessing the load capacity and performance of bridges.

Field Monitoring

• Displacement monitoring: Monitoring displacement of structures with the use of digital displacement sensors and data loggers to measure and record displacements due to loads and/or temperature.
• Vibration monitoring: Monitoring vibrations for a variety of purposes including demolition, railway, drilling.

Non-Destructive Testing

• Concrete corrosion potential (half-cell) testing: Determining the corrosion potential of reinforcing steel in
  concrete structures.
• Concrete rebar cover meter scanning: Measuring the depth of concrete cover and spacing of rebar.
• Schmidt hammer testing
