We operate 24/7 and service both metropolitan and remote sites, providing reliable, efficient solutions for commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects with minimal disruption.
Applications of Concrete Coring
Concrete coring plays a critical role in structural analysis and service penetrations. Core retrieval is essential for assessing concrete strength, density, and composition, providing valuable data for engineers and ensuring structural integrity in existing buildings and infrastructure. This non-destructive method allows for precise sample extraction without compromising surrounding structures. Additionally, concrete coring is used to create openings for essential service penetrations, including electrical conduits, plumbing lines, and HVAC systems, ensuring seamless integration while maintaining the integrity of reinforced concrete elements.
Concrete Testing & Analysis
At our clients request, GP Structural Services facilitate the preparation & transport of retrieved cores and samples to accredited laboratories for testing. These tests are conducted in full compliance with relevant Australian Standards, including AS 1012 (Methods of Testing Concrete) and AS 3600 (Concrete Structures). The samples are tested for characteristics such as compressive strength, extent of carbonation, air content, and resistance to chemical exposure, ensuring that all results meet the required specifications.
