Concrete Testing
Cement is the most produced product on the entire planet and its quality will determine the quality of your construction. Your Gulf Coast construction project will only be as strong as the concrete you pour. Make sure that your concrete will stand up to the elements and all stress with concrete testing from GeoCon Engineering.
Importance of Concrete Testing for Gulf Coast Construction
Concrete testing is essential to the success of any Gulf Coast construction project. If you want to ensure that your concrete will not fail, you must test your concrete before pouring and after it has hardened. Hardened concrete testing will let you know the elasticity and strength of your concrete. However, concrete testing is not only about the concrete itself. It is also about how the concrete has integrated and fused with rebar, steel, and the ground below. The bottom line is that concrete is a construction godsend because it has good compressive strength. The downside is that it also has poor tensile strength. Concrete testing allows you to find the perfect balance in your concrete mix.
It might seem like concrete testing is a straightforward enterprise, but the truth is that there is a lot to it. Concrete testing requires advanced expertise in engineering. Concrete is often used to support heavy weights and immense pressures. It is used in foundations, roadways, and support walls. Because concrete is used as the most crucial support point for most structures, any risk of concrete failure must be avoided at all costs. If a foundation or support wall cracks, settles, buckles, or collapses it could cost countless dollars and risk countless lives. Concrete testing before, during, and after construction is the only way to ensure your concrete won’t fail.
GeoCon Concrete Testing is Key to Quality and Durability in Your Gulf Coast Project
Concrete testing requires real expertise in engineering. Great contractors and builders are essential to any Gulf Coast construction project, and should work alongside geotechnical engineers.
