We offer a range of specialist structural investigation services, including precision diamond drilling, concrete sawing, and non-destructive testing. Our team carries out accurate core drilling for sample extraction and structural assessment, as well as controlled sawing for access, removal, or modification of reinforced concrete elements. We also perform covermeter surveys to detect rebar location and depth, supporting safe, informed decisions during refurbishment, compliance checks, or early-stage design. All services are delivered efficiently, with a focus on safety, minimal disruption, and adherence to site and industry standards.
Concrete core sampling is used to ascertain the condition and strength of the concrete, through compressive strength testing, and further laboratory analysis.

Concrete core sampling is used to ascertain the condition and strength of the concrete, through compressive strength testing, and further laboratory analysis.
Our highly skilled technicians are set up with both electric (110V) and hydraulic coring rigs. Which can be used by hand or bolted to a flat surface for versatility and accuracy of drilling. We have the capability to drill any diameter core up to 350mm. However, our standard drill set for core samples is 50mm, 75mm, 100mm and 150mm⌀.
Using high-performance equipment and experienced operatives, we deliver clean, accurate cuts in concrete slabs, walls, and pavements with minimal disruption. Whether for access creation, sample extraction, or structural modification, our sawing techniques ensure efficiency, safety, and compliance with site-specific requirements.
Additional services can include:
· Corrosion test panel surveys
· Chloride ion samples
· High Alumina Concrete sampling (small diameter core or lump samples)
· Depth of carbonation testing
· Reinforcement surveys
· Post Tension Special Inspection (PTSI) to CS465
