GPL have developed good reputation in solving “Construction Problems”. GPL employs are highly qualified specialists in highways, structural and geotechnical engineering for this purpose. Also, state of the art equipment for destructive and non-destructive testing are utilized by GPL. All available equipment is calibrated and in accordance with the International Standards such as BS, EN, ASTM, DIN, AASHTO, CIRIA etc.
The services of the special studies are:
- Evaluation of condition and damage of existing structures.
- Evaluation of fire damaged structures and design of repair.
- Non-destructive testing of reinforced concrete to determine diameter, spacing and direction of reinforcing steel.
- Non-destructive testing of reinforced concrete to evaluate the internal condition of concrete, voids, honeycombing and delamination.
- Evaluation and determination of actual concrete compressive strength.
- Durability Tests for evaluation of old structures.
- Studies and design for rehabilitation, maintenance and repair of structures.
- Inspection of pipes and small places by using Crawler camera.
- Conduct studies, design and supervision on the installation of retaining systems for building and roads.
- Studies, management and supervision of major excavations.
- Consultation on the design of dams, water structures and special foundations.
- Consultation on drainage and dewatering systems.
- Load testing of structures (Bridges, Slabs etc.)
- Pavement evaluation for highways and airports.
- Pavement Condition Index (PCI)
- Geological Mapping and Surveys
- Consultation and research related to special problems in construction projects.
- Other Specialized Studies.
Non-Destructive Testing:
Most of Nondestructive testing for evaluating concrete structures are available. (Cover meter, Half-cell, Ultrasonic, Crack Monitoring, Crack Microscope, Schmidt Hammer, Ferro scan, Impact Echo, Impulse Response, etc.)
