Pull Testing
Where We Can Help
At Design Stage − Preliminary / Ultimate Load testing
At the design stage of a project we can provide load testing to a specific rating or to failure to help establish specification of fixing required and allow changes to be made before build/installation stage.
At Installation Stage − Proof Load testing
After installation and to meet build regulations and specifications, fixings and/or anchors will often require inspection and testing by an approved independent contractor. We can fulfil this and attend site at short notice and test a given percentage to ensure design specifications are met. If they pass, we can provide test certificates to allow project sign offs.
