CONCRETE
Services
York Engineering Limited (York) provides comprehensive concrete services for both existing structures and new construction. We assess deterioration in buildings, parking structures, bridges, and roads using destructive and non-destructive testing to identify issues like cracking, corrosion, and wear. For new projects, we support mix design, reinforcement inspection, and on-site testing—including slump, air content, and strength tests—to ensure compliance with CSA standards. Whether for repair, rehabilitation, or quality control, York delivers practical, data-driven solutions to ensure concrete durability and performance.
Research & Development
Our engineering services are enhanced by a dedicated R&D team focused on innovation, improved service delivery, and solving complex technical challenges. Through applied research, field trials, and collaboration with academia and industry, we’ve developed custom solutions that advance material performance, sustainability, and construction methods. By exploring emerging technologies and refining techniques, York ensures clients benefit from effective, forward-thinking solutions.
Field & Laboratory Testing
York offers a full range of field and laboratory services to ensure the integrity, durability, and performance of construction materials and structures. We provide materials testing, condition surveys, and structural evaluations for both new and rehabilitation projects. In the field, we monitor concrete temperature and strength development to optimize curing and schedules. In the lab, we conduct specialized tests such as freeze-thaw resistance, chloride permeability, and corrosion assessments. Our durability analysis and QA/QC protocols ensure compliance with specifications and standards, supporting safer and more efficient construction outcomes.
