Testing and measurement for structural and mechanical engineers
Accolade measurement is an independent UK based Company, established since 1992, specialising in structural and mechanical instrumentation and testing. We carry out on site measurement and testing on existing structures, from dimension surveys to safety critical structural monitoring. Specialised test rigs are also developed, tailored to specific problems.
Our success is due to the dedication and accumulated experience of our staff, ensuring good client relations through effective communication and consistent diligence. Our clients range from organisations such as the Home Office, to private individuals and include a broad variety of engineering consultants.
We offer expertise in the following areas:-
Instrumentation - Remote monitoring of displacements, strains and loads through fully automated data logging and modem link up, or manual on-site readings.
Load Testing - Loading and displacement testing of structural components to assist in the assessment of integrity.
Dimension Surveys - CAD drawings produced from on site geometric measurement surveys.
Condition Surveys / Integrity Testing - Surveys carried out, sampling and destructive or non-destructive testing of concrete, steel and wood.
Special Purpose Testing - Mechanical & structural performance testing tailored to individual situations, devised and conducted, using purpose built equipment.
Timber Integrity - Until recently, no successful non-destructive test method for timber had been developed. We are now pleased to conduct timber integrity testing, using the sibert digital microprobe.
