Core Testing
When comprehensive strength tests of laboratory-cured cylinders fail to meet the specified acceptance criteria, core testing is commonly used to verify the strength and to obtain acceptance of the in-place concrete. While the process of core testing may seem straightforward, there are many details contractors must consider to achieve accurate results.
KB Engineering can help with core testing for your project to ensure acceptance. Contact us for more details or learn more by reading this PUBLICATION
