Tensile or shear tests to enable anchor design for unknown or uncertain base materials
Who the service is for: Engineers/designers
When it's needed: You have insufficient data to determine anchor resistance for safe, efficient and cost-effective design approval (e.g. documents or technical manuals don’t cover the base material). This is most likely in reinforcement or restoration projects.
Why use the service: Foundation for efficient design with test data. More confidence in structural integrity of the specified solution.
Deliverables: Test report with load and displacement values, an optional evaluation report with calculated anchor resistance.
Obtain proof loading documentation for post-installed anchors or rebar
Who the service is for: Project managers and quality managers
When it's needed: You need proof loading documentation of tensile tests on post-installed anchors/rebar. This as part of the validation of installation quality for quality managers, project owners or external inspectors.
Why use the service: State-of-the-art proof load test documentation. More confidence in structural safety of the installed solution – without holding up progress on site.
Deliverables: Test report designed to be presented to inspectors, clients and specifiers, and optional evaluation report with documented test load calculation.
Use the results of our anchor testing services only as they are intended Note that site testing one or more products, independent of the reason, can never:
serve as a substution for an approval document
serve to overrule an existing approval document
serve to conclude which is a "better" product by comparison
serve as a substitute for proper anchor design
