Specialist Subconsultancy for Engineering Firms
If you are an engineering consultancy performing work for a client and require a third party to provide inspection and measurement services using our array of instrumentation and tooling, we are happy to assist.
Given the large amount of site tools and equipment we carry, we are often self-sufficient. Works are set up under a sub-consultancy agreement in order to ensure correct structure and coverage.
We often work under confidentiality agreements and remain solely a non-competitive technical resource.
We do not offer design and construct services under sub-consultant arrangements.
Services Provided:
Most of the work we do in this space is focused on utilising our instrumentation to help you build a bigger picture.
Strain Measurement
Strain measurement provides engineers with invaluable insight into real-world stress and loading. This is essential during fatigue calculations and modelling.
We scale our equipment for each project to suit your requirements. Data is commonly provided in Excel format showing strain and corresponding stress in order to allow you to compare to modelling results.
The benefit is twofold. Quite often the site-derived stress is lower. You also get an opportunity to measure areas that are on the limit. This lets you back up your desktop assessment with real-world measurement
Concrete inspection and testing
Our testing services use a combination of NDT instruments and physical sampling. We can send samples to NATA-accredited laboratories and provide you with the required results for reporting purposes.
Commonly, for other consultancies, we perform the following:
Core drilling and sampling
For sampling and testing activities - in particular compressive strength testing it gets easy get it
wrong if you try to just send a concrete company to take samples.
See how we do it to understand why.
Piling attendance and measurement
We provide Pile Integrity Testing for newly installed and existing piles.
We also can provide third party piling attendance as part of site works.

Commonly, for other consultancies, we perform the following:
- Half Cell Testing to determine level and extent of reinforcement corrosion
- Reinforcement cover and bar size determination
- Concrete scanning and compilation of 3D map using registered surveyor
- Carbonation testing to measure extent of deterioration
- Strain measurement of structures under load
- Crack width monitoring
- Ultrasonic pulse velocity for measurement of Homogeneity and crack depth
- pre pour inspections and reporting for consultancies working in different regions
