The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) performs a wide range of concrete failure analysis services for engineers, contractors, insurance providers, legal teams, facility managers, and property owners to identify, remedy, and document distress, deterioration, and instability in concrete structures.
The Importance of Concrete Failure Analysis
Concrete failure analysis is critical to preventing progressive collapse, reducing economic loss through targeted repairs, clarifying liability with objective documentation, and informing better design and construction practices. Our licensed engineers, material testing scientists, and certified technicians follow ASTM and ACI protocols, provide clear, evidence-based reports, and offer practical remediation recommendations and cost estimates to support repairs, litigation, insurance claims, or risk mitigation.
Our team of failure analysis experts emphasizes transparent communication, strict chain-of-custody for samples, and defensible methodologies to reduce uncertainty and accelerate resolution. Whether addressing minor cracks, spalling, or catastrophic failures, our systematic approach ensures clients receive actionable conclusions and a clear path to restore structural integrity and confidence. We prioritize rapid mobilization, meticulous evidence preservation, and collaboration with clients and regulators. We also provide expert testimony, peer review, and long-term monitoring plans to ensure repairs are durable, compliance is achieved, and future performance is verified through scheduled inspections and data-driven maintenance.
