Importance of Non-Destructive Testing on Concrete
Durability, strength, and viability of any structure are crucial before occupying it for any use. Any structure, be it new or an old one (which is open for re-occupancy) can be assessed if required. Though it is not a prerequisite to have it done for the existing owner or a prospective owner. However, it is always advisable to have it done in order to learn and evaluate longevity, resistance, and stability. Though the common method, which is used, is to assess the quality by collecting a specimen of the structure while it is under construction, the result of the specimen can differ from an erected structure. For that, Non-Destructive Testing methods are the most reliable. They not only give the true picture of the tenability of the concrete structure but also elaborate on factors like hardness of the concrete, resistance, rebound capacity, and a structure’s suitability for any intended use.
