Inspection

Abseil inspection

Abseil Inspection

Historically, the cost of providing access formed a disproportionate part of the total cost of many inspection and minor repair operations. Abseiling leaves few surfaces which cannot be quickly and cheaply…

Bedding mortar

Bedding Mortar

Unlike screed, bedding mortar is covered by tiles whilst still in its fresh state, so cannot be tested in-situ for quality/strength. However, Sandberg can audit the mixing, compacting and laying process providing an independent check on workmanship.

Access platform for bridge inspection

Bridge Inspection

The full scope of Special Inspection testing for corrosion risk assessment by half-cell potential, cover, resistivity measurements and chloride analysis is undertaken by Sandberg.

Building Inspection

Building Inspection

When buying or leasing property, prospective owners and tenants need to be confident that any future commitment to the property is not a potentially disastrous financial time bomb.

Modern building with cladding system

Cladding Inspection

Recent building designs achieve some stunning appearances using an ever-increasing variety of materials but coupled with such diversity comes the potential for problems…

Ground bearing concrete floor in large industrial unit

Concrete Floors

Concrete floors can often be a source of problems both during construction and subsequently during service. Cracking, staining, poor abrasion resistance, chemical attack and other defects…

More…

Ferroscan survey of wall

Ferroscan Surveys

Sandberg offer the Ferroscan FS 10, a portable detection, measuring and mapping system which provides an immediate liquid crystal image of the reinforcement within the scanned area.

More…

Fire damaged concrete

Fire Damaged Concrete

The visual appearance of concrete after a fire can be quite shocking with extensive blackening often accompanied by spalling and cracking. Of more importance, though, is the depth and extent of the fire damage.

Dip Testing final thickness of GFRC layers

Glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC) inspection

Sandberg can assist with consultancy services relating to the procurement of Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) and the subsequent inspection of the manufactured products.

More…

HAC floor beams

HAC Concrete

Rapid strength development made HAC popular for precast concrete in the UK during the 1960s. Mineralogical ‘conversion’ however, sometimes caused catastrophic reductions in concrete strength…

More…

UT weld testing

NDT Weld Inspection

NDT is an integral part of the weld inspection process on both ferrous and non-ferrous structures/components as it ensures that welds are free from sub-surface and surface-breaking defects.

More…

Painted steel-work

Paint Inspection

Through our UKAS accredited laboratories, consultants, engineers and inspectors, Sandberg are able to provide a comprehensive service covering everything from Paint Inspection to Corrosion Surveys to Inspection and Testing of Galvanizing.

More…

Precast concrete units

Precast Concrete Inspection

Sandberg’s team of experienced precast concrete Inspectors and Consultants are able to assist with all aspects of the manufacturing process for precast concrete units.

More…

Woodwool and exposed corroding reinforcement

Woodwool

Woodwool was used during the 1960s to provide insulation and as a permanent shutter to in-situ concrete. Unfortunately, when used as a permanent shutter, inadequate compaction of the concrete could occur due to…
