Petrography
What is Petrography?
Petrography is the microscopic examination of concrete, aggregate, rock, mortar, and other construction materials to identify their composition, quality, and condition.
When is Petrography Needed?
Petrographic analysis helps determine the causes of cracking, deterioration, staining, scaling, and premature failure, providing the information needed to diagnose problems and improve long-term performance. Learn more about our Petrography Laboratory.
Engineers, contractors, architects, material suppliers, owners, government agencies, and legal professionals rely on petrography to investigate material failures, verify quality, evaluate durability, support repair decisions, and resolve construction disputes. Petrographic analysis delivers the technical insight needed for confident, standards-based decisions.
