Damage assessment & in situ tests
CONCRETE
The Magnel-Vandepitte Laboratory performs the following tests on-site
- Core Drilling
- Rebound hammer testing
- Reinforcement detection
- Adhesion determination
- Corrosion potential measurement
For various customers, the Magnel-Vandepitte Lab also conducts laboratory analyses such as:
- Determination of carbonation depth
- Determination of chloride content
- Determination of the chloride diffusion coefficient
- Determination of freeze-thaw resistance (in combination with de-icing salts)
- Sensitivity with respect to ASR (Alkali Silica Reaction)
- Compressive strength determination on drilled cores
- Petrographic analysis (microscopy)
For the damage diagnosis of concrete structures, the Magnel-Vandepitte Laboratory has a structural cooperation with the spin-off company Sanacon (www.sanacon.be).
GLASS
With a very broad expertise in the field of structural glass, the Magnel-Vandepitte Laboratory provides support for damage diagnosis, construction and restoration of glass constructions.
For glass structures, the Magnel-Vandepitte Laboratory has a structural cooperation with the spin-off company Vitroplena (www.vitroplena.com).
