  • Sulphate and other chemical attack of building materials in marine and industrial environments
  • Chloride penetration into concrete in marine environments and subsequent corrosion of steel reinforcement. (also see Diagnose Concrete Cancer )
  • On-site investigation of causes of deterioration of concrete and other building materials with advanced techniques, such as XRD, XRF and SEM (electronic microscopy) and many more
  • A wide range of laboratory investigation of the durability performance of concrete and other materials with standard test methods or specially developed test methods.
