Reinforced and prestressed concrete structures investigation
TRUST US WITH YOUR REINFORCED OR PRESTRESSED CONCRETE STRUCTURES
It is often difficult to assess the true condition of a reinforced or prestressed concrete structure, particularly when reinforcement, internal defects, or deterioration mechanisms are not visible at the surface.
Constru-Care supports you with a comprehensive approach to the investigation and assessment of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures, combining in-situ testing, surveys, targeted sampling, and analyses tailored to the specific deterioration mechanisms and pathologies encountered.
Our experts assess the condition of the concrete, identify potential defects and deterioration, and characterise both the reinforcement and the underlying degradation mechanisms, including carbonation, corrosion, and insufficient concrete cover.
These investigations provide a clear, reliable and actionable understanding of the structure, enabling informed and sustainable decisions regarding maintenance, repair and rehabilitation.

From inspection to action
INSPECTIONS
Visual inspections of all types of concrete structures, including technical surveys and condition assessments. Inspections can be carried out using drones, rope access techniques, and other specialised access methods.
IN-SITU INVESTIGATION
Investigations on all types of concrete structures and infrastructure, including core extraction, concrete breakouts, drilling, pull-off testing, reinforcement sampling, and other targeted assessments to accurately characterise structural condition and material properties.
NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
Non-destructive testing of existing concrete structures and assets, including concrete scanning, ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys, ultrasonic testing, Schmidt hammer testing, and other advanced investigation techniques.
LAB TESTING
Concrete sample testing, including compressive and tensile strength testing, carbonation assessment, chloride ion content determination, water absorption testing, freeze-thaw resistance testing, petrographic examinations, and other laboratory analyses to characterise material properties and durability.
MONITORING
Accurate monitoring of concrete structures through real-time instrumentation systems or periodic measurements, using gauges, displacement and deformation monitoring devices, stress sensors, humidity probes, temperature sensors, and other monitoring equipment.
ANALYSES
Assessment of the condition of concrete structures, including structural condition evaluations, fire resistance assessments, project feasibility studies, and other engineering analyses to support informed decision-making and asset management.
