C3S Concrete Non Destructive Testing Services
3 Project Phases ENGINEERING CONSULTING
C3S, Inc. can provide concrete engineering consulting and testing services in each of the three phases of the project. Concrete engineering consulting and testing services in the Project Planning Phase can verify that planned and sourced construction materials will meet requirements. Concrete engineering consulting and testing services in the construction phase can quickly identify non-conformances and minimize cost and delay. Concrete engineering consulting and testing services in the maintenance/forensic phase are the traditional applications that identify the source of problems so that they can be corrected cost effectively.
PROJECT PLANNING PHASE
With Project Planning Phase, we aim to build the quality of concrete ingredients upfront into the clientโs project to improve the life of structures and be able to reduce the maintenance costs. We accomplish this using various aspects of concrete analysis, sourcing and qualifying the planning stages.
CONSTRUCTION PHASE
During the construction phase we evaluate and determine the root cause to any problems that may arise in addition to performing inspections to meet specifications.
MAINTENANCE/FORENSIC PHASE
We offer our expertise to help you minimize maintenance costs and prevent costly repairs. We help you understand underlying causes of the problems prior to starting any extensive repair.

PETROGRAPHIC ANALYSIS / SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY

Scanning electron microscope imaging facilitates identification of hardened cement paste constituents with greater contrast, and greater spatial resolution than for optical methods and provides ancillary capability for element analysis and imaging.
GCMS & FTIR
These two methods of analysis are like fingerprinting chemicals and compounds and provide additional tools in identifying the root cause of any problems associated with the concrete.
