Why is it important to test concrete? Concrete can provide resistance against flooding, windstorms and other natural disasters as well as giving protection when buildings catch fire. Concrete is tested for its strength, hardness and elasticity of materials. Testing standards are being updated with more modern technologies through the use of compression machines, controllers and other accessories to ensure the highest level of quality and reliability.
