CONCRETE FORENSICS

One of the most fascinating facts about this man-made rock we call concrete is that it is ever-evolving. Concrete hydrates and changes from a plastic to a hardened state, but also continues to change after that. Our forensic knowledge helps you understand the changes that occur. To a petrographer, concrete has many stories to tell, which our engineers interpret to provide you with an understanding of what happened and why.

Forensic issues we encounter include:

• Premature materials failure
• Fire damage
• Inadequate mixture proportions
• Improper control of the batching process
• Improper placement issues
• Lack of proper curing
