NDTs on Concrete Structures
NDTs on Concrete Structures
Non-destructive evaluation of concrete structures using a comprehensive suite of testing methods — from surface hardness to internal defect mapping — without causing any damage to the structure.
Schmidt / Rebound Hammer Basic Infrared Thermography Ferroscan / Profometer Scans Crack Inspection UPV — Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Carbonation Depth Measurement Concrete Core Testing Half-Cell Potential Test
NDTs on Steel Structures
NDTs on Steel Structures
Accurate inspection methods to detect surface and sub-surface defects, measure protective coating thickness, and verify the structural integrity of steel elements and welds across all load-bearing components.
Magnetic Particle Test Dye Penetration Test Hardness Test Paint Thickness Test Ultrasonic Steel Thickness Paint Adhesion — Pull-Off Test
Foundation and Geotechnical Investigations
Foundation / Geotechnical Investigations
Subsurface investigations that determine soil properties and foundation suitability through borehole drilling, sampling, and in-situ testing — informing safe and cost-effective foundation designs.
Evaluate soil bearing capacity
Identify settlement or stability risks
Support structural design decisions
Crane Proof Load Tests and Inspections
Crane Proof Load Tests & Inspections
Conducted in accordance with ASME B30.2-2016, this procedure verifies that a crane can lift and operate safely at or above its rated capacity — covering deflection measurement, brake testing, and full operational performance assessment.
Crane Load Test Ground Tests Visual Inspections
Verify rated load capacity
Confirm brake and control system function
Ensure compliance with safety standards
Structural Audit Services
Structural Audit Services
Comprehensive structural audits for concrete and steel structures. We provide detailed assessment reports, corrective design recommendations, and systematic monitoring of structural cracks and deterioration — giving clients the insight needed to act with confidence.

NDT Equipment For Hire

Professional-grade instruments available for short or extended engagements — supplied with technical guidance from our team.

UPV Meter
UPV — Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Meter
Sends ultrasonic pulses through concrete to measure wave velocity — used to assess concrete quality, detect internal voids, cracks, and estimate uniformity and homogeneity of the structure.
Concrete NDT
Schmidt Hammer
Schmidt / Rebound Hammer
Measures the rebound of a spring-driven mass off the concrete surface to estimate relative compressive strength and surface hardness — fast, portable, and non-damaging.
Concrete NDT
Rebar Scanner
Ferroscan / Profometer — Rebar Scanner
Scans concrete elements to locate reinforcement bars, measure concrete cover depth, rebar diameter, and spacing — essential for structural assessment and repair planning.
Concrete NDT
Thermographic Camera
Infrared Thermography Camera
Detects thermal anomalies across building surfaces — used to identify delamination, moisture ingress, insulation voids, and sub-surface defects without any physical intrusion.
Concrete & Steel
Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge
Ultrasonic Steel Thickness Gauge
Measures the wall or plate thickness of steel elements from a single surface — detects corrosion loss and material thinning without cutting or damaging the structure.
Steel NDT
Ground Penetrating Radar
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
Penetrates deep into concrete or ground to map buried objects, post-tension cables, conduits, voids, and subsurface features — high resolution with no drilling required.
Concrete & Geotechnical

NDT Methods We Apply

Eight proven non-destructive testing methods deployed by our certified engineers — each selected to match the specific material, condition, and inspection objective.

VT
Visual NDT
A certified technician examines the material for surface-level discontinuities, corrosion, and misalignment using the naked eye, magnifiers, mirrors, and borescopes. Often the first step in any inspection.
UT
Ultrasonic Testing
High-frequency sound waves are transmitted through the material to detect internal flaws, measure thickness, and assess concrete uniformity — including UPV testing on columns, slabs and beams.
MT
Magnetic Particle NDT
A magnetic field is induced into ferromagnetic steel components. Iron particles gather at flux leakage points, making surface and near-surface cracks and discontinuities clearly visible.
PT
Dye Penetrant NDT
A liquid dye is applied to the surface and drawn into cracks by capillary action. After removal, a developer reveals the defect indications — effective on non-porous metals, ceramics, and plastics.
ET
Eddy Current NDT
Electromagnetic induction is used to detect surface and sub-surface flaws in conductive materials. Particularly useful for measuring coating thickness, detecting cracks, and evaluating weld quality.
AE
Acoustic Emission NDT
Passive sensors detect high-frequency stress waves emitted when a material deforms or cracks — allowing real-time monitoring of structural damage progression under load.
LT
Leak Testing
Detects and locates leaks in pressure vessels, pipelines, and containment systems using pressure change, bubble emission, or tracer gas methods — ensuring containment integrity.
IRT
Infrared Thermography
Thermal imaging detects temperature differentials on surfaces caused by subsurface anomalies — used for identifying delamination, moisture ingress, voids, and insulation failures in buildings and structures.

We also encourage and welcome professional affiliations with engineers, consultants, and industry partners across East Africa.
