Over the years, Solid Services has developed an advanced laboratory, enabling us to carry out all of the necessary tests and trials in-house. We tick off an extensive checklist to determine the status of the concrete.

Laboratory analysis

Materials analysis often provides a definite answer as to the cause of defects and provides insight into the quality of the materials used. Solid Services has its own laboratory where many different types of analyses can be carried out. We distinguish between physical, chemical and microscopic analysis.

Examples of physical analysis include the determination of compressive strength, flexural tensile strength, split tensile strength, bond strength, porosity and permeability. Chemical analyses include chloride analyses and investigation into chemical degradation, such as by acids. Microscopic analysis is used, for example, for Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR) damage in concrete or to determine the composition of concrete.
