Details of several construction projects:

1) Berolina-Haus, Alexanderplatz Berlin-Mitte

Inspections:

• Inspection of concrete girders and -columns regarding compressive strength and carbonation depth
• Identification and documentation of reinforcement locations as well as measurement of rebar diameter and concrete cover
• Identification and documentation of different slab compositions
• Pull-off tests for assessment of surface tensile strength
• Identification of concrete composition

2) Kaserne Kirschallee in Potsdam

Inspections:

• Identification of the structural composition of various structural elements such as slabs, walls, stairs, headers, basin floor
• Identification of support conditions on inner- and outer walls
• Determination of concrete compressive strength on drilling cores, carbonation depth
• Identification of reinforcement locations including concrete cover
• Determination of material parameters of the used materials (brick- and mortar inspections)
• Identification of moistness on structural components
• Identification of tensile- and yield strength of reinforcing bars within the steel stone slab

3) Olympic Stadium Berlin

Inspections:

• Identification of the structural composition of slabs and girders as well as stair components
• Determination of concrete compressive strength as well as carbonation depth
• Identification of reinforcement ratio, reinforcement diameter and reinforcement location of critical structural concrete components
• Pull-off tests for assessment of surface tensile strength
• Determination of chloride content in drilling dust of cracked- and moisture penetrated areas as the primary parameter for corrosion facilitation
