CONCRETE INVESTIGATIONS

Our specialist engineers are able to carry out intrusive and non-intrusive surveys on all types of concrete structures. We are able to assess the overall condition and deterioration of structural concrete and steel reinforcement and assess the suitability for refurbishment of buildings. RAAC (Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) is potentially a very serious problem in schools and colleges. Albert Cole Consultants take a proactive and sensible approach to determining the presence of RAAC, and are able to offer a full service to determine its presence and offer practical and cost effective solutions as a potential alternative to costly replacement".

INSULATION/COMPOSITE CLADDING TESTING

Following the Grenfell Tower fire on 14 June 2017, the government commissioned a series of large scale fire tests of Aluminium Composite Material ( ACM ) cladding. These were intended to establish how different types of ACM panels in combination with different types of insulation behave in a fire. Albert Cole Consultants are able to take samples to determine type of insulation present and determine its fire rating.

SOIL INVESTIGATIONS

Our specialist engineers are able to carry out intrusive and non-intrusive surveys on all types of concrete structures. We are able to assess the overall condition and deterioration of structural concrete and steel reinforcement and assess the suitability for refurbishment of buildings.
