A range of instrumentation is used to test strains, movements and displacements during loading or stressing. The parameters measured are tailored to the requirements of each individual test.

Bridge Testing: Live loads such as trains or lorries are used to generate a load, and strain gauges and displacement sensors are used to monitor displacements.

Floor Testing: Water is generally used for convenience in loading floors, balconies, stairs and walkways. Generally, supporting scaffolding is erected beneath the floor, in case of failure of the floor under test loading.

Roof Testing: Water is generally used for convenience, hung from the underside of sloping roofs, or laid on top for flat roofs. We can also use large numbers of hydraulic rams to induce a load that can be removed instantly.

Pile Testing: Dead weight is used to impose the load on the structure while strain and subsidence are monitored using a range of sensors.

Wall Testing: Please see Barrier Testing for horizontal line load testing of barriers, handrails, balustrades and parapets.
