Specialized Services Tailored to Your Needs

Schmidt hammer testing swiftly assesses the compressive strength of concrete elements, comparing them against established quality standards. It's a reliable method used to ensure the integrity of hardened concrete structures.

Bond testing evaluates the crucial bond between substrate concrete and repair materials, essential for maintaining the longevity and performance of concrete floors and pavements. We specialize in testing bond strengths for various applications including patches, traffic toppings, and bridge deck overlays.

Rebar covermeter surveys are instrumental in locating reinforcement bars to prevent accidental damage during coring. This survey is integral to comprehensive bridge deck assessments, evaluating rebar damage from chloride ion ingress in concrete.

Ensuring safety, balconies and balustrades are rigorously tested to meet regulatory codes based on their design and location. Compliance involves thorough inspection and load/displacement testing to verify structural integrity and adherence to safety standards.

Chloride ions are a primary cause of steel reinforcement corrosion, leading to concrete deterioration such as staining and cracking. Our chloride testing determines acid-soluble chloride ion content in hardened concrete, following MTO Procedure LS-417 standards.

Half Cell testing evaluates the corrosion potential of reinforced concrete structures exposed to chloride-based deicing salts. This method measures rebar corrosion levels, essential for effective repair and rehabilitation planning.

In Ontario, biennial inspections of bridge and culvert structures are mandatory. BME conducts thorough inspections in compliance with the Ontario Structure Inspection Manual (OSIM), ensuring structural safety and regulatory adherence.

Our state-of-the-art concrete testing lab is currently undergoing Category 1 certification and additional testing capabilities, with completion expected by mid-August 2016. A detailed list of available tests will be accessible upon certification. Stay tuned for updates on our expanded capabilities in concrete, soil, asphalt, and other essential materials vital for ensuring superior construction quality assurance.
