Confirming the accurate completion of the selection and installation procedure for screws is a much needed step known as ground testing. It ensures that every aspect aligns precisely with manufacturer specifications and as a result of this provides peace of mind for clients.

In various sectors across the UK, the reliance on a broad range of structural fixings and anchors is important . To guard against grave consequences like human injury, Death , or  damage, it is important  to conduct precise selection, design, and installation of all anchors. BS8539:2021, which shows industry standards and best practices for post-installed anchors in concrete and masonry, guides the responsibilities of all parties involved in the process., for that reason, At Shear Testing Systems, your safety is our top priority.

In order to ensure proper installation and the achievement of a safe working load (SWL), proof testing is carried out. This strict examination provides the necessary confirmation that the ground screw has been correctly installed.

During the design stages of most projects, preliminary testing assumes a significant role. With a focus on the integrity of the surface , we can address any concerns promptly. By expertly installing selected ground screws and doing pullout testing, we gather data regarding their performance. Another key point to mention is that our team at STS records all visual and acoustic aspects during these tests. As a result of this, producing full reports that inform decision-making processes.

To determine the ground screw’s maximum load capacity in a chosen surface , we utilize ultimate load testing. This strict method requires applying the ground screws to pullout testing until failure, therefore allowing for precise findings. By simulating real-world scenarios, we acquire the essential data required to make confident decisions. At the same time offers an extra factor of safety.

Shear Testing Systems understands the vital importance of ground testing to be sure that your projects benefit from our dedication to safety. In conclusion Shear Testing Systems are the go to for all your testing needs.
