Concrete corrosion typically occurs when the steel rebar that exists in reinforced concrete rusts and starts to deteriorate. The expanding rust exerts pressure inside the concrete, causing it to expand, crack and damage surrounding concrete. Structures using reinforced concrete should be tested to detect corrosion before significant damage occurs.

M&L provides a wide range of quality control testing tools for the detailed detection and evaluation of corrosion, chloride ion content, ASR deterioration, and carbonation in reinforced concrete structures.
