Investigation
Our experienced engineers will create a detailed scope of investigation with the correct balance of destructive and non-destructive methods to optimize subsequent testing.
Before diagnosing the causes of deterioration or failure of a concrete structure, a sound understanding of the physical, chemical, and mechanical actions that lead to defects is necessary. Deterioration can result from a range of factors, including design, construction practice, materials, environment and the loading applied to the structure. We at Concrete Science, Inc. have the advantage of having engineers experienced in forensic analysis of building distress and investigation.
