Reinforcement bar sampling
A targeted sample for accurate and reliable results
IN-SITU TESTING
Test carried out on site using appropriate equipment and standardised procedures to ensure reliable and actionable results.
DESTRUCTIVE
Localised alteration of the structure is required and reinstatement is generally necessary after the intervention. The number, size and location of samples are carefully selected to minimise their impact on the structure.
SAMPLING
Sampling of material specimens for laboratory testing to characterise material properties and assess their condition and performance;
Why carry out reinforcement bar samplings ?
- Allows laboratory testing to be carried out, providing reliable and accurate information on the chemical, physical and mechanical properties of reinforcing steel bars.
- Can easily be combined with non-destructive testing methods to provide a comprehensive understanding of the inspected structure.
- Provides insight into the level of reinforcement corrosion and the condition of the surrounding concrete, enabling a more accurate assessment of structural durability.
