Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

In modern construction, what you can’t see can often be the most critical factor in a structure’s lifespan. Inch-On Materials Testing Laboratory provides professional Ultrasonic Testing (UT) services across the Philippines, offering a non-destructive way to “see” inside your materials. By using high-frequency sound waves, we identify internal defects, voids, and cracks without compromising the integrity of your structure.

Core Testing Services

Our Ultrasonic Testing capabilities are designed to provide immediate, on-site accuracy for various construction elements:

1. Concrete Quality & Integrity

Assessing concrete uniformity, detecting internal voids, and estimating crack depth.

Verifying the thickness of slabs and walls where only one side is accessible.

2. Structural Steel & Weld Inspection

Identifying internal discontinuities such as slag inclusions, porosity, or lack of fusion in steel welds.

Measuring thickness loss in structural steel components due to environmental wear.

3. Foundation & Pile Testing

Ensuring the structural integrity of bored piles and diaphragm walls by detecting “soft bottoms” or necking.

Why Our Testing Matters

For developers, contractors, and engineers in the Philippines, failing to detect internal flaws can lead to catastrophic structural failures and legal complications. Our Ultrasonic Testing reports provide the data-driven confidence needed to:

Ensure your project meets DPWH-BRS requirements and international ASTM/AASHTO standards.

Inspect your structure without the need for core drilling or breaking finished surfaces.

Detect cracks, honeycombing, and voids early to prevent costly long-term remediation.

Confirm that your foundation piles are solid and capable of supporting the intended loads.
