Company Profile
Concrete Quality Concepts Pvt. Ltd. is a team of dedicated Engineers and Professionals specialized in the field of investigating and testing of concrete structures using Non Destructive and Partial Destructive tests. Besides, the company recommends designed repair and rehabilitation methodologies based on the results of the NDT investigations carried out at the site. It also undertakes Quality Management and Project Management assignments.
- Consulting for inspection process development
- Consulting for repair, rehabilitation and retrofitting
Non – destructive testing (NDT) services, development of NDT products and techniques, NDT – related training, and laboratory-based materials testing services
- Numerous examples of premature failures in concrete structures – could be related to durability / concreting practice etc.
- Investigation strategies are designed for immediate satisfaction of client rather than addressing the real issue
- Repair based on the investigation is not in tune with the structural requirement
- Need – a sound methodology for assessment and repair based on scientific principles
- Certification for field inspection in civil engineering practically non-existent in India
- Need – certification programs to qualify inspection personnel for NDT as per national and international standards
- Limited development of NDT processes for concrete in India
- Need – new techniques / sensors for improved performance assessment
- Ex: (1) Underwater UPV sensors (2) Devices for measuring coating thicknesses, etc.
- Testing and certification of materials for repair of concrete structures – at present, almost no facility in India (some random testing done at IIT and other educational institutions)
