Pullout Testing UK uses the high standard range of Hydrajaws® portable testers and accessories for establishing the holding forces of anchors and fixings in most construction materials and situations.
Our engineers are proficient in the use of Hydrajaws® products and have undertaken their training programs, having received certification of competence recognized by local industry authorities.
Heavy Duty Testing
The 145Kn Hydrajaws model 2008 tester is used to meet the demand for proof load testing of larger construction fixings. The heavy duty tester can be applied to the testing of anchorage for crash barriers on highways, safety fences for stadium crush barriers and bridge parapet anchors.
Medium Duty Tension Testing
Our engineers are able to confirm the holding power of anchors in most construction materials using the medium duty tension tester, either for the purpose of establishing safe working loads or to validate the correct installation of existing fixings. The tensile load of up to 25kN is applied to the fixing mechanically and hydraulics are used to register the load through an accurate analog gauge which makes the testing very accurate.
Scaffold Testing Kit
Following the NASC/CFA guidance note (TG4:04) we are able to test the anchorage systems for scaffolding to check the suitability and allowable loads of an anchor type in a particular base material and check that anchors have been installed correctly. This test is to be carried out on all scaffolding.
Eye and Ringbolt Testing
Our engineers are able to test each structural anchorage, after installation which should be submitted to an axial pull out force of 6kN to confirm the soundness of the fixing. This service is for testing safety harness bolts and can be applied to ladder restraint hooks and most bolts in concrete and masonry.
Safety Lifeline Testing
Working in conjunction with installers of safety systems using flexible anchor lines we are able to test equipment to the requirements of the new standard BS EN 795 to ensure full compliance with the Directive for Personal Protective Equipment.
Material Bond Testing
We are able to test a wide variety of materials for their bonding strengths. The materials testing service we provide can be used for concrete, screeds, repair mortars, epoxy resin coatings, laminates, plastics, paints and enamels.
Wall tie Testing
Our engineers are able to test wall ties to ensure correct load capacity and that they have locked into place properly and to determine strength. This type of testing gives you long term guarantees and peace of mind.
Long Stroke Testing
Long Stroke Testing is able to determine the strength and suitability of fixings such as roofing screws in built-up roofing constructions where performance data is unavailable.
Tension Meter
We provide this service for testing wire ropes that used for fall-arrest systems, strain measurement of rigging, guy ropes, tower and mast supports, and checking the security of crimped/swaged end fittings as applied to wire ropes.
