Core Extraction and Compression Testing is a destructive test used to determine the in-situ compressive strength of hardened concrete in structures. Concrete cores are drilled from structural members such as beams, columns, slabs, and pavements, and then tested under compression in a laboratory to assess the actual strength and quality of the concrete.
This test is widely used for:
• Quality control of concrete in existing structures
• Verifying compressive strength of concrete where cube/cylinder test results are doubtful
• Assessing structural integrity of old or deteriorated structures
• Condition assessment during rehabilitation, repair, and retrofitting projects
• Compliance checks with IS 516, ASTM C42, or other international standards
Procedure: Concrete cores are extracted using a core drilling machine, trimmed to standard size, and tested in a compression testing machine (CTM) to measure load-bearing capacity.
We provide precise Core Extraction and Compression Testing services with detailed reports, ensuring reliable evaluation of concrete strength and durability for infrastructure in sectors such as Construction, Power, Oil & Gas, Industrial Plants, and Civil Engineering projects.
