TIMBER,TILES,BRICKS TESTING
CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL LIKE TIMBER, TILES, BRICKS, BLOCKS ETC. ARE TESTED FOR SPECIFIC PROPERTIES
MOISTURE METER
Measuring the moisture content in elements like timber and plaster, this test indicates the quality of the material especially after ageing over a long number of years.
TIMBER STRENGTH
Visual inspection for qualitative assessment of the state of timber to identify Defects and alterations including knots and fiber deviation, longitudinal splitting, ring shakes, biological damage and insect attacks. Using Non-Destructive Methods (NDT) to measure the moisture content of the wood, which severely affects its Mechanical properties and its susceptibility to degradation by decay, Ultrasonic investigations, Assessment of the material hardness and superficial consistence, Detection of internal defects and density variations by means of measure of drilling resistance, Compression tests and Bending tests (10 specimens type b) for modulus of elasticity and strength.
BRICK TESTING
Brick testing is to be done for old bricks taken from masonry structures, special bricks, paver blocks etc.
TILE TESTING
Tile testing tests properties like the strength of the tile, water absorption, scratch resistance etc.
CONCRETE TESTING
Concrete testing services range from a variety of tests designed to assess the true strength of concrete in structures. New and old, intact and damaged structures can be evaluated by these tests.
CONCRETE - REBOUND HAMMER
(IS 13311 Part 2)
This test measures the surface hardness of concrete. For new structures, the hardness reading is used to co-relate the strength of concrete. The hammer has to be used normally on the test surface, vertically (up or down) or horizontally depending on the structural element.
ULTRASONIC PULSE VELOCITY
(IS 13311 Part 1)
This test is used to measure the quality of concrete by the velocity of the ultrasonic pulse. The velocities are affected by the composition of Concrete, Presence of Cracks, Voids & Other Imperfections that affect the quality of concrete. Distance/Time=Velocity. Concrete is classified as excellent, good, medium, or doubtful depending on the velocity calculated.
COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF CORE
(IS:516)
75mm or 100mm diameter cores are taken on-site using state-of-the-art core cutting machines. A cover meter is used to locate the reinforcement steel before core cutting. This prevents structural damage to the RCC member by avoiding the reinforcement. These cores are dressed in our lab and tested using standard compression testing methods to determine compressive strength and arrive at the equivalent cube strength of concrete.
CARBONATION DEPTH
(BS 1881 Part 201)
When the cover concrete is carbonated the process of corrosion enhances due to the reduction in the alkalinity surrounding the reinforcement bars. The estimation of carbonation depth thus helps in predicting the period of protection from corrosion.
HALF CELL POTENTIAL
ASTM C876-91
Half cell potential test determines the probability of corrosion activity taking place at the point in the Reinforcement. A higher probability means more chances of corrosion. This test measures the probability and not the extent of corrosion.
COVER DEPTH MEASUREMENT
This test measures the distance between the surface and the rebar. Used to determine the spacing between rebars and the concrete cover, this is an important test for in-situ quality control.
REINFORCEMENT MAPPING
Grow Your Business
This method is used to assess the reinforcement bar diameter and spacing of main bars and stirrups. For new structures, it can be used to determine the exact usage of steel. In old buildings, this is used to gather information on the reinforcement, not available or otherwise. This information is then used to prepare the structural drawings as constructed.
PH CHLORIDE AND SULPHATE TESTS
(IS 456:2000)
To check conformity to IS 456:2000, these tests are designed to measure the PH value of concrete and determination of sulphates and chloride content in concrete. Samples collected on-site are transported to the laboratory for further processing.
CHLORIDE PROFILE TEST
Chloride concentration vs depth
Using sophisticated onsite and laboratory methods, the chloride content is plotted against depth. This gives an indication of the extent of chloride content across the structural member.
DTA TGA
Assess the fire damage to concrete
Loss of strength due to fire is assessed with these tests. They form an important input to decide if the structure can be repaired or needs to be demolished and reconstructed.
STEEL TESTING
WHETHER IT IS STRUCTURAL STEEL OR REBARS FOR CONCRETE, FIRE-DAMAGED, OLD OR NEW STRUCTURES, STEEL TESTING SERVICES COVER ALL ASPECTS TO PROVIDE PERFECT INPUT TO HELP YOU TAKE CORRECT ENGINEERING DECISIONS.
MAGNETIC PARTICLE TEST
Designed to detect subsurface welding defects, the test generates patterns that are photographed for reference. Ideal for key welds where defects are not visible to the naked eye, this is a quick test applicable to steel structures.
ULTRASONIC THICKNESS GAUGE OVER COATINGS
Normally, steel thickness gauges do not measure thickness over coatings. Using the latest globally available instrumentation technology, this test measures the steel thickness from up to 20 mm of coatings and underwater, making it the ideal choice for marine applications and industrial applications.
DYE PENETRATION TEST
Dye Penetrant Examination is used for the inspection of surface-associated discontinuities in weld components. In this technique low viscosity liquids are allowed to penetrate the surface openings and after penetration, the liquid is made to extract again by means of some developers
STEEL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Used to determine the grade of steel and type of steel (torr / mild)
STEEL CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Used to determine the type of steel (torr / mild) and its chemical composition.
PILE AND OPEN FOUNDATION TESTING
INTEGRITY AND DYNAMIC TESTS ARE MOST FREQUENTLY USED TESTS TO ASSESS THE CONTINUITY AND LOAD BEARING CAPACITY OF THE PILE
INTEGRITY TEST
(ASTM D-5882)
A pile integrity test is used to assess the continuity of piles. With this test, necking or bulging and uniformity of quality of concrete are checked. This test does not determine the length of the pile.
PILE DYNAMIC TEST
ASTM 4995 (High Strain Dynamic Test) and IS-2911 (part-1 section-1)
A pile dynamic test is used to assess the load-bearing capacity of the pile. This test uses an impact hammer (of weight in proportion to the weight of the pile). Tests are conducted to comply with international codes like ASTM 4995 (High Strain Dynamic Test) and IS-2911 (part-1 section-1) using the Hileys formula based on the preference of the client/consultant. Data is captured using state-of-the-art instruments. Data processing is done to arrive at the dynamic load-bearing capacity as per applicable standards. This test is relatively easy to conduct and requires very few site arrangements as compared to a static load test.
OPEN FOUNDATION TESTING
Assessment of foundation size and strength
Assessment of the foundation is done for size and its strength by excavation, measurement taking cores samples for testing.
VISUAL INSPECTION AND MEASUREMENT
VISUAL INSPECTION AND MEASUREMENT OF CRACKS, DEFLECTION, VERTICALITY ETC. ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE STRUCTURAL AUDIT
ENDOSCOPIC INSPECTION
Ideal for inspection in false ceilings, crevices and other difficult-to-inspect areas, this computer-based system is designed to capture still photos and videos of the hidden surface. Ideal to capture spalling above false ceilings during the inspection and other applications, this test is a critical test.
SLAB DEFLECTION MEASUREMENT
Using a system of weights and calibrated scales, the slab deflection is measured at the ends, middle and midpoints. The results of the deflection are then compared with the national building codes for checking acceptable limits.
VISUAL INSPECTION
A detailed visual inspection is carried out by extensive photography and marking on the drawings. This provides a ready reference for structural audits, structural repairs schemes and technical meetings. All structural observations are codified for quick assessment and incorporation into the BOQ for repairs.
CRACK WIDTH MEASUREMENT
Using standard thickness measurement devices, crack width is measured either one time or over a period of time say, 6 months, specially fabricated devices ensure that measurements are taken exactly at the same place again and again for plotting historical trends. ideal for structural designers to check the progressive development of cracks, this is a quick, low-cost method.
VERTICALITY CHECK
Verticality Check to ascertain the vertical face of the building/shafts.
VIBRATION MONITORING
REAL TIME SYSTEM WITH SMS AND EMAIL ALERTS
Installed near sites with deep excavations or piling operations near buildings, the vibration system designed by Aaryan provides real-time alerts in SMS and email once threshold values are exceeded. ​ Key parameters like acceleration, velocity and tilt are measured in real-time. ​ The data is logged in the cloud for alerts, that can be analyzed for patterns etc. ​ Coupled with other measurement systems like crack width measurement, stress and strain measurement, the vibration monitoring system is a critical early warning system to enhance the safety of the occupants.
