Testing of work elements (scaffolding, props and railings)

Ensayos a elementos de obra (andamios, puntales, barandillas)

We carry out a full characterisation of tests on Temporary Work Elements (TEWs): scaffolding, protection, shoring, lintels, formwork, props and nets.

We provide comprehensive quality control and assessment of technical performance.

Services

  • Characterisation in accordance with EN (EN12810, EN12811, EN 12813, EN 13374, EN 1004 and design of specific customised tests). Third party laboratory for voluntary certification: Quality Mark.
  • Characterisation and assessment of mechanical, acoustic, physical-chemical and fire performance properties through testing. Possibility of designing and dimensioning through calculation and subsequent validation per test.
  • Technological services to improve performance.
  • Design and development of testing methods for the assessment of innovative products.

Tests and Standards

Mechanical tests on end product:

  • Dimensional and safety requirements.
  • Resistance to static load, impact and falls and fatigue tests.

Physical-chemical tests on raw materials:

  • Physical and mechanical properties: tensile strength, elasticity, impact, abrasion, bending, colour, brightness, etc.
  • Natural and artificial ageing: QUV, ATLAS Ci3000, climatic chambers, salt spray, thermal shock, moisture, etc.

Fire Performance Tests:

  • Fire reaction, resistance to fire and toxicity of smoke.

Aimed at:

  • Manufacturers of scaffolding, props, shoring, perimeter protection, nets, formwork, lintels
