Investigation & Detectives #7838098

CSFC has long track of expertise in investigation and diagnosis of structures for their serviceability and performance. Engineers in CSFC are trained in sophisticated methods of investigation and diagnosis of structures. The investigation is carriedout using wide variety of Non Destructive Testing instruments for condition assessment. All necessary additional data also collected for laboratory investigations.

Investigations are carried out for buildings, bridges, thermal power plants etc.

• Assessment of structures damaged by Earth Quake, blasts, fire, functionally deteriorating
• Assessment of quality of construction
• Assessment of structure for further expansion
• Assessment of ageing structures for safety and serviceability.
• Assessment of structures by Non Destructive Tests, Load tests etc.

We have specially invited to investigate one of the blast damaged structure where in 6.00 Tonnes of Ammonium nitrate melt was exploded.

Client was extremely satisfied by the methodology adopted for diagnosis of structure and schemes and systems suggested for rehabilitation.

Third party inspection and quality audit of works. The quality auditing will establish, document and implement a programme for auditing which shall evaluate the adequacy of functions, systems and procedures.

The audit will include an evaluation of process audit and product audit which are :

• Quality practices, systems, procedures and instructions
• Certification of documents and records
• Quality of intermediate or end product.

The laboratory is modern and most of the instruments are digitized. Facilities are available for material testing

• Cement
• Aggregates
• Concrete
• Concrete Blocks
• Pavement blocks, tiles
• Performance evaluation of Mineral admixtures, Plastisizers, Superplastisizers, Hyperplastisizers, Polymers, Epoxies, Water Proofing Compounds etc.
• Water test for suitability to concrete

Concrete Mix Design

• Microconcretes
• Self compacting concretes
• Silica fume concrete
• Metakaoline concrete
• Durability consideration
• Workability consideration
• Strength parameter
• Special concrete required for specific structural members

Chemical Analysis

• Chemical analysis of concrete for pH values, Chloride ingress, Sulphate ingress etc.
• Chemical analysis of Soil.
• Chemical analysis of water, Suitability for concrete

Geotechnical Investigation and Design of Foundations

FIELD TESTS

• Bore hole drilling, collection of disturbed and undisturbed samples for further testing at laboratory
• Standard penetration, static cone penetration test and plate load tests.

LABORATORY TESTS

• Atterberg limits, grain size, triaxial, CBR and other relevant laboratory tests, design of suitable foundation and allowable bearing pressure.

Design of Pavements

• Carrying out CBR
• Compaction and in-situ density tests.
• Pavement design

We have carried out extensive investigation of structure damaged in 2000 January 26^th earthquake in Kuch District of Gujarat State in India.

The expertise in investigation of earthquake damaged structures is of very high order as we have carried out very elaborate diagnosis of structures.
