WATER SUITABILITY FOR CONCRETE
Let's check it
SANS 51008 COMPLIANCE FOR CONSTRUCTION
Is your mix water quietly compromising the strength and durability of your concrete?
Don't leave concrete water quality to guesswork, let's check it.
Impurities in mix water — from dissolved salts to organic contaminants — can weaken concrete strength, cause discolouration, or accelerate reinforcement corrosion. We test before it becomes a structural problem.
What We Check & Compare
-
SANS 51008 Compliance: The national standard for water used in concrete production.
-
Chloride & Sulphate Levels: Key contributors to reinforcement corrosion and long-term durability issues.
-
General Suitability: Whether your water source is fit for structural or non-structural mix use.
What You Get in Every Report
-
FREE Compliance Summary: Clear readout against SANS 51008 thresholds.
-
FREE Risk Flagging: Early identification of anything likely to compromise mix strength or durability.
More about concrete water testing
Water quality is an often-overlooked factor in concrete durability. Testing in line with SANS 51008 before a pour gives contractors and construction firms documented assurance that mix water won't compromise the finished structure.
