More accurate predictions of how a concrete structure including foundations, etc. will perform under loads from hurricanes, fire, floods, blast, earthquake, modifications/extensions, additional floors, additional equipment
-
More accurate assessments means more appropriate recommendations on how to strengthen a structure or mitigate weaknesses
-
Preservation of the integrity and condition of your building or structure during testing
-
You can continue normal use of the building or structure during testing
-
