The requirement of the contract
was to complete a programme of in-situ non-destructive
testing, full delamination survey and sampling with subsequent
laboratory analysis of the samples.
Details of the siteworks, sampling, laboratory analysis,
and testing were presented in a full report.
The investigation consisted of in-situ testing of the
concrete (Half Cell Potential, Cover, Cement Content, Schmidt
Hammer Testing and Chloride Determinations).
A full surface
delamination survey of the concrete piles and small concrete
breakouts to expose steel was also completed in order to
ascertain the condition of the
piles at those locations.
Reinforcement bar spacing
were also obtained using the
covermeter across
each test location.
