TECNALIA boosts in-service durability of building products with a wide range of specialised services
TECNALIA’s building materials laboratories have become a benchmark in the field of in-service durability of building materials. Thanks to TECNALIA’s commitment to improving the quality and useful life of building materials, it is able to offer a wide range of specialised technological services to ensure maximum strength and performance of these materials.
Durability of building materials is essential in order to ensure the long-term sustainability of building products.
TECNALIA’s teams of experts have extensive experience studying the durability of materials, assessing their performance in various environmental conditions and in extreme situations. Through a combination of laboratory tests, valuable information is provided to manufacturers, engineers and architects to optimise the selection and use of materials in their projects.
Analysis of corrosion and deterioration in metallic building materials
One of TECNALIA’s outstanding services is the analysis of corrosion and deterioration in metallic building materials. TECNALIA’s experts use advanced assessment techniques such as electrochemical monitoring and microstructure analysis to identify the factors that contribute to corrosion and suggest preventive and mitigation measures to extend the useful life of metallic structures.
TECNALIA also offers durability assessment services for composite materials such as concrete and ceramics, against chemical attack, exposure to adverse weather conditions and mechanical load. These assessments allow customers to select the most suitable materials for each project and ensure their long-term resistance.
According to Susana Rodríguez, researcher at TECNALIA’s Materials Laboratory: “Our aim is to boost the in-service durability of building materials to ensure the safety and sustainability of building materials. With our broad portfolio of specialised services, we help our customers make informed decisions and optimise the useful life of their projects.”
