Concrete cube testing is a simple, cost-effective test to prove the compressive strength of hardened concrete.
Concrete cube testing is an essential aspect of quality assurance in the UK construction industry. It ensures that concrete can withstand the necessary compression forces through exacting quality standards. In accordance with BS EN 12390:3-2019, this test is crucial for proving structural integrity and safety, promoting durability, and preventing costly project delays caused by cube strength failures. UKAS-accredited testing laboratories, such as Omega, ensure the reliability and accuracy of your test results.
We're delighted with the quality of service on both fresh and hardened concrete. I highly recommend Omega to other ready-mixed concrete producers or contractors...
We've been using Omega for concrete testing for over a year. They deliver great service with punctual sample collection, quick test reports, and fantastic customer service...
We have worked with Omega for over ten years and use them on all of our wind turbine projects. I'm always impressed with their professionalism and level of service...
A very professional approach. Five star communication, site and laboratory services, test reports and aftercare...
Concrete cube testing is a crucial and cost-effective method for determining the compressive strength of hardened concrete, ensuring the strength, safety and durability of structures through rigorous quality standards.
A range of professionals, from small builders to large contractors, use concrete cube testing. Its widespread application highlights its importance in guaranteeing quality and suitability across various scales, applications, and projects.
Structural Assurance
Compliance with Standards
Identification of Potential Weaknesses
Using a UKAS-accredited laboratory for concrete cube testing ensures compliance with British or European standards, as well as impartiality, trust and competence. Such assurances lead to high-quality testing procedures being followed, resulting in better service and more concrete results, which in turn reduce project risks related to time and cost.
Impartial Results: There is no conflict of interest.
Highest Compliance: Meet stringent BS or EN standards.
Reliable Expertise: Skilled, trained laboratory technicians.
Increased Trust: Confidence in test results to BS EN 12390.
Peace of Mind: Confirms alignment with industry standards.
The Omega Group is a leading independent concrete and materials testing laboratory based in the Midlands, UK. We take pride in delivering high-quality testing services and providing exceptional customer support. We see ourselves as an extension of your team, not just an external testing company.
We offer a range of UKAS-accredited on-site testing of fresh concrete, as well as laboratory-based testing of hardened concrete.
We record high-definition video and photographs of each compressive cube test using our specialised, in-house world-first technology. As continuous pressure is applied to the cube sample, live information, such as load (kN), stress (MPa), and time(s), can be viewed in real-time.
The visual details, including stress fractures and anomalies, enable the identification of the moment and type of failure, which has been crucial time and again, allowing for post-analysis playback after the cube test is completed.
