2 Service Areas Auditing & CE Marking Concrete Investigations Pyrite & Concrete Block Investigations and Analysis Load Testing Specialist Testing Safety Quality Productive Do it Once Do it Right Risk Assessment Safety Approach SMART ALL THE WAY

3 Auditing and CE Marking STS offer a full range of auditing and CE marking services for all construction products and independent bespoke client plant audits and inspections Testing and certification for all construction products Factory Production control manuals Declarations of performance Audit preparation, attendance and close out ISO

4 CONCRETE INVESTIGATIONS STS provides a full range of destructive and non destructive tests and inspection techniques that will provide engineers with accurate information to allow an effective evaluation of the condition of the structure under investigation. Reinforcement bar detection Cover and location Breakouts Coring, Core logs, photos, testing Site carbonation testing Half cell testing Resistivity testing Sulphate & Chloride sampling & testing Rebound hammer testing Ultrasonic pulse velocity testing Equipment includes Hilti PS 35 Hilti Ferroscan Hilti PS 1000 X Scan Proceq Profoscope Proceq GPR Live

5 SITE TESTING CAPABILITIES Smart Test Solutions offer and manage and has the ability to provide expertise and testing in the following applications: Anchor pull out tests (tensile) and shear tests Floor slab surveys Ultrasonic surveys Building surveys Sports stadium surveys In-situ test: Depth covers & Half cell mapping Depth of carbonation & Resistivity Delamination & Schmidt Hammer surveys Pull-off and pull-out tests Borescope inspections Humidity and moisture level measurements Sampling and Laboratory tests: Chloride ion and Sulphate analysis Cement content analysis Coring and compressive strength tests Petrographic examinations HAC - presence and condition ASR - presence Thaumasite reaction identification Steel identification of type and yield strength Multi-storey car park surveys Crack surveys, crack depth Cover Surveys Bridge and floor load tests Hand rail and barrier testing Concrete breakout yielding cover, rebar condition, concrete samples and carbonation testing potentials Vehicle barrier proof load testing Displacement & Tilt monitoring

6 PYRITE AND BLOCK INVESTIGATIONS AND ANALYSIS Sulphur on surface of shale Particle adhesion on fragment surface SMART Test Solutions offer a full range of tests and analysis in the evaluation of pyrite and block analysis, including site sampling, laboratory chemical and physical tests and geological and petrographical analysis. Michael Robinson was a testing specialist contributor on the NSAI committee that developed IS 398 investigation protocols and updated SR21 EN13242 for new material. Quality Site Sampling Physical Testing Chemical Testing Petrographical Testing Rapid Accurate Service IS 398 sampling & testing Premier Protocol Gypsum crystal growth on broken delaminated shale surface

7 LOAD TESTING Smart Test Solutions has a particular ability to carry out load testing in a safe productive efficient accurate manner. We provide country wide and overseas coverage in this regard. Most fixing systems are now covered by CE marking and other systems, most installers carry installation training certification, most concrete has been found to be in acceptable condition, but this has not been the case in every situation, so increased numbers of tests must be carried out. Michael Robinson has been trained and certified to Construction Fixing Associations levels and standards. Load testing services include Fixing anchor load testing Scaffold tie testing Barrier & handrail testing Lift shaft beam load testing Floor and stairs load testing Concrete beam load testing Precast lintel load testing Cattle slat load testing Equipment includes Hydrajaws Hilti tester Enerpac
