At KAKS, we provide precise and reliable on-site coring services to support construction quality control and forensic investigations. Whether it’s asphalt or concrete, our team ensures that every core sample is carefully extracted and thoroughly tested to give you accurate insights about your materials.
Asphalt Coring & Testing
Obtaining asphalt cores is a critical part of pavement evaluation and maintenance. Once collected, we run a series of tests to assess performance and durability, including:
-
Material thickness and density tests
-
Air voids calculations
-
Asphalt content analysis
-
Materials gradation
-
Maximum theoretical density testing
These tests provide the data needed to evaluate pavement life expectancy and ensure compliance with specifications.
Concrete Coring & Testing
Concrete core specimens are essential for understanding the strength and condition of both standard concrete and shotcrete. Our services include:
-
Core thickness and density testing
-
Core compressive strength testing
-
Shotcrete panel coring and grading
-
Chloride ion content testing
-
Petrographic analysis (via trusted 3rd party labs)
By combining field precision with advanced laboratory testing, we deliver a full picture of concrete performance and durability.
