What happens when concrete pours are interrupted on a major structure? At a San Jose parking garage, cold joints in beams and slabs raised critical questions about construction quality and long-term durability. Concrete Science, Inc. launched a comprehensive investigation using non-destructive testing, core sampling, and lab analysis to uncover what lay beneath the surface.

For an industrial warehouse needing results, a concise condition assessment and measured crack map, backed by selective visual cores, showed the slab could be stabilized in place, keeping forklifts moving and budgets intact without resorting to full slab replacement.

At first glance, the Saratoga Creek Bridge stands as a quiet, historic landmark nestled among redwoods. But beneath its stone arches, a deeper story was unfolding—soft concrete, hidden voids, and signs of corrosion threatening its long-term stability. Concrete Science, Inc. was called in to uncover the unseen. Through advanced petrographic analysis, chemical testing, and meticulous fieldwork, the investigation revealed critical structural vulnerabilities and environmental threats.

From chain drag to petrography, see how a targeted condition assessment turned scattered symptoms into a prioritized repair and coating plan for a post tensioned parking deck.

Comprehensive fire damage assessment of bridge girders, evaluating structural integrity through pulse velocity testing and petrographic analysis. Findings identified critical areas of deterioration, guiding targeted repairs and long-term rehabilitation strategies for restoring concrete durability.
