  • Auscultation of piles with the Cross-Hole technique


      STRUCTURES
  • Concrete consistency.
  • Sample drawing of concrete and corrugated steel.
  • Propagation speed of ultrasounds in hardened concrete.
  • Determination of the rebound index with sclerometer.
  • Load tests on structures.
  • Study of the reinforced contingent in hardened concrete with cover meter and by Grooving.
  • Suitability of the soldered joints measured by penetrating liquids, ultrasounds, magnetic particles, visually.
     

      COATING
  • Adhesion test.
  • Pull-off test.
  • Determination of the skidding or gliding index.
