R-Tech Materials’ laboratory for testing reinforcing steel and related products is recognised globally as the leading, specialist laboratory of its kind. Not only do we have the capability to test the full range of reinforcing steel products, but our scope covers loads up to 1500kN (beyond the breaking load of 50mm reinforcing bar).

With the on-going developments in advanced materials throughout all industrial sectors, never has the testing and analysis of composites been more important. From high quality sample preparation, to highly trained staff operating state of the art test machines, find out how we can deliver the fast and accurate test results that you need for your business.

Industries all over the world use R-Tech’s consultancy teams to provide specialist knowledge and experience in managing and investigating the structural integrity of plant assets from design, through life to retirement.

A thorough materials failure analysis is often a key component of the overall root cause analysis of a particular material, component or plant failure. R-Tech Materials has the range of skills, expertise and techniques to be able to conduct failure analysis for a wide range of materials, components and industries including construction, marine, petro-chemical, aerospace, automotive, oil and gas and metals manufacturing.

R-TECH Materials can also offer in field interpretation of replicas in order to support outage schedules. Field metallographic replication is an essential tool for ensuring plant operation continuity and safety of operation personnel and the public.
