Refurbishments account for approximately half of all construction work. Repair, restoration and protective services are needed every day for structures such as parking decks, balconies, bridge piers, building, roofing and many more.
Repairs can be performed using repair mortars, epoxy resins, polyurethane grouts, carbon fiber straps or plates and other types of repair materials. Choosing a repair product for the job without understanding what caused the problem and the possible compatibility issues could lead to very costly mistakes. Testing must be performed to make sure that the repair products meet all necessary criteria for the job.
At TEC Services we perform a wide range of the testing on all repair products. We take pride in our work and promise to give you the most accurate answers possible. A basic list of some of the testing our laboratory provides is listed below. If a test is desired that is not listed below please call and inquire for further details.
