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.

In our field quality is essential. Client satisfaction is achieved through employment
of the correct methods, equipment and particularly the competence of each individual.
Measurements made may be conducted using U.K.A.S. accredited labs and calibrated
equipment. Staff are safety trained including confined spaces training and P.T.S for
railtrack working.
Our commitment is to be an accolade to all clients, by providing careful
attention to detail, at the most competitive rate. We would be pleased to hear from you for any measurement enquiry.
From routine testing to long term instrumentation of major structures,
all work is undertaken with diligence.
