Pull-Out Testing

Pull-out testing for in-situ concrete strength to BS EN 12504-3.

Pull out testing concrete from Corvus is part of our concrete testing service. Pull-out testing — Lok-test for new concrete, Capo-test for existing — gives you a calibrated in-situ strength estimate. We deliver the test, the calibration, and a defensible report you can put in front of a verifying engineer.

Method & deliverable

Built around the question being asked.

Test selection follows the question being asked. For in-situ strength estimation we combine rebound hammer with pull-out for a calibrated answer. For definitive results we extract cores and test them in a UKAS lab. We design the testing programme to give you defensible numbers, not just data points.

For pull-out testing specifically, the brief drives the choice of frequency, density, and reporting style. We quote a method that fits your access window, your accuracy requirement, and the downstream use of the data.

What you get

  • Test method statement and risk assessment
  • Field log with calibrated readings
  • UKAS lab certificates for cored samples
  • Statistical analysis and characteristic strength estimate
  • Engineering-ready PDF report
