Concrete Testing
Fresh concrete sampling, cube casting, curing, and compressive strength testing - delivered against SANS 5861, SANS 5862, and SANS 5863 specifications.
Concrete, tested to specification
Every structural pour, precast element, and pavement slab depends on verified compressive strength. We test fresh and hardened concrete - from slump and cube casting to core extraction and compressive strength analysis.
Our results support construction sign-off, structural verification, and mix design validation. Data is reported to SANS specification and can be submitted for tender documentation, municipal approval, or dispute resolution.

How It Works
Sample to signed report - typically within 7 to 14 working days depending on curing period and method.
Sample Submission
Deliver fresh concrete or hardened specimens to our Vereeniging lab. Include mix design and project reference.
Casting & Curing
Standard 150mm cubes cast and cured under controlled conditions for 7, 14, or 28-day compressive strength testing.
Testing
Cubes crushed to failure under SANS 5863. Results analysed against specification and design strength requirements.
Signed Report
PDF report issued with cube results, compliance statements, and signatory stamp. Suitable for tender and construction submission.
