First class Ferro Scanning
Before you start any structural changes or drilling, it's incredibly important that you know exactly where important structural features and other pipework is located. Our specialist X-Scan ferro scanning equipment will tell you exactly that. Quickly and accurately able to detect and locate all kinds of objects in multiple layers up to a maximum of 450mm in cured concrete, our ferro scanning equipment ensures that you will be drilling nowhere near any vital pipework or important structural supports.
Pull out testing from the Uk's best
If you're using anchor bolts, it's vitally important that you have on site fixings tests and stress testing carried out on them before you ever use them. At Southern Drilling, we use the very best pull out testing technology and equipment and combine that with the experience and expertise of our talented and fully qualified team to provide quick and accurate analysis of any potential problem. Whether you've got a freak breakage or a more serious problem with the design or materials, we'll provide a full stress load testing service and mechanical method to quickly expand a sample size. Utilising our industry-leading equipment, we'll apply the same stress loads to a range of different anchor bolts to help us quickly identify the problem and find the most suitable solution.
The very best shear testing services
One of the most effective and fastest ways of accurately testing fastenings and fixings is through shear testing. Generally, shear forces will cause one surface of a particular material to move in one direction and the other surface to move in the opposite direction. This ensures that the material involved is stressed in a sliding motion. Shear testing differs from tension and compression tests, as the forces applied are parallel to the contact surfaces, while in compression and tension tests they are perpendicular to the contact surface.
