01
Concrete Inspection
Independent assurance across concrete works to reduce defects, protect programme delivery, and ensure specification compliance.
- Pre-Pour Assurance: Verification of reinforcement, cover, and formwork readiness prior to casting.
- Mix Compliance: Confirmation that concrete supply meets specified performance requirements; strength, cube crush results review
- Post-Pour Inspection: Assessment of finish, dimensions, curing, and waterproofing quality.
Delivering confidence that concrete works are correctly executed first time, reducing rework and non-conformance risk.
