Tests - GP Diagnostic Engineering
Tests are powerful tools within Diagnostic Engineering; Through them, we are able to identify the causes of problems related to construction and then treat them effectively and definitively. Check out some of the tests we carried out:

Crack Monitoring Seal
The Crack Monitoring Seal aims to monitor the structure. Through this monitoring, it is possible to identify whether or not the crack is evolving, as well as the possible causes that led to its appearance.
Percussion
The application of the Percussion test not only makes it possible to identify, but also makes it possible to map in detail the elements with inadequate adhesion to the structure. This proactive approach not only prevents accidents, but also contributes to preventive maintenance, ensuring the integrity and durability of the building.

Moisture detection (Sensor)
The Moisture Detection test is carried out using equipment equipped with a high-precision sensor, allowing the precise identification of moisture points. This is an example of a test that operates synergistically with Thermography, providing a comprehensive approach to analyzing problems related to humidity in structures.
Corrosion Potential
The Corrosion Potential measurement method is used as an electrochemical tool to monitor the corrosion of reinforced concrete reinforcement. Additionally, it can be applied to evaluate the effectiveness of repair systems and measure the passivation capacity of reinforcement.

Moisture detection (Probes)
This type of humidity detection test is carried out using equipment with probes that penetrate the structure to ensure an accurate reading of the humidity in the element. This is an example of a test that works together with Thermography.

Crack depth measurement
This test makes it possible to check the depth that a crack can reach. Furthermore, the equipment provides data, such as the width of the crack being measured, for example.
Drag
The ABS percussion test method may not be effective on certain types of coating, such as tablets. The Drag test seeks to efficiently and quickly evaluate the adhesion of the coating to the substrate.


Opening measurement (Fissurometer)
The purpose of the Fissurometer is to measure the width of fissures and cracks. Furthermore, it has a ruler on its body that helps with the notion of the size of larger openings, facilitating photographic records for the technical report.
Relative air humidity (Hygrometer)
The Hygrometer test is used in extremely humid environments, with a high incidence of infiltration due to condensation. Through a report generated by the equipment, it is possible to accurately understand the areas that require greater attention for evaluation.

Socket diagnostics (Socket Tester)
By testing with the Socket Tester, it is possible to check any irregularities in electrical installations (Phase + Neutral + Earth). With this equipment, you can also check whether the DR circuit breaker is working correctly.


Gas leak detection
This test makes it possible to accurately detect small gas leaks caused by poorly executed and/or broken installations. Through it, it is possible to identify the exact point of the leak, providing subsequent assistance in the process of correcting the failures.
Water TDS Check
The water quality test using the TDS method aims to check the amount of solids dissolved in the water. This way, it becomes possible to understand whether the water is suitable for consumption, in addition to identifying the presence of some type of soluble salt, such as, for example, efflorescence.


Checking the pH of the water
The pH method test aims to identify the pH of the water, determining whether it is acidic, neutral or alkaline. Through this test, it is also possible to discern the origin of an infiltration, whether it comes from rainwater, cold water, among others.
Chemical tracer
The chemical tracer test aims to identify the origin of the infiltrations. The tracer, with high penetrating power, enters small fissures and, with the help of UV light, makes it possible to precisely identify the point of origin of the infiltration.


Plaster monitoring seal
Crack monitoring sealing with plaster is a sensitive method that allows detecting small crack movements. This type of monitoring is often carried out indoors. However, it can also be used outdoors, by using water-repellent additives in the preparation of the plaster seal.
Slope check (Inclinometer)
Checking the slope with an Inclinometer aims to ensure whether the slope of the element is within regulatory standards or not. Some examples include slope towards the shower drain and roofs, where each type of tile requires a specific slope for the system to operate efficiently.

Hydraulic network pressure (Manometer)
It is crucial to carry out a check with the pressure gauge to ensure that the network pressure complies with the values established by standard 5626:2020. In many cases, the pressure exceeds the normative values, which can result in ruptures of the pipe connections due to excess pressure.
Ultrasonic Corrosion
Ultrasonic guided waves make it possible to monitor the loss of thickness of metallic profiles and pipes, through the introduction of an ultrasonic signal that travels long distances and, where part of the energy in wave form is reflected, when interacting with a discontinuity.


Ultrasound Inspection
The Ultrasound test is a method of qualitative assessment of concrete, used to determine the speed of propagation of longitudinal waves by means of ultrasonic pulses, through a concrete structural element, with the main applications being: analyzing the homogeneity of the concrete, detecting flaws and estimate resistance.
Pull-out Test
The Pull-Out test is a test carried out to determine the tensile strength of ceramic and mortar coverings on the substrate. It is important that this test is carried out on the facades of buildings, to find out whether they are in good condition or whether they require maintenance, renovation or retrofit.


Geophone Test
Geophone testing is used to detect leaks in underground pipes. The device captures sounds generated by the flow of water through cracks, converting vibrations into audible signals. Based on the intensity and location of the noises, it is possible to identify the exact point of the leak.
Liquid Penetrant Testing
Liquid penetrant testing is a non-destructive method used to detect surface discontinuities, such as cracks, pores and fissures, in non-porous materials. The process involves applying a liquid penetrant to the surface, removing the excess, and applying a developer, which highlights visible flaws.


Soil Resistivity Test
The soil resistivity test with a grounding meter measures the soil's ability to conduct electricity, which is essential for grounding systems. The grounding meter applies current through electrodes and measures the potential difference, calculating the resistivity and evaluating the grounding efficiency.
Strain Gauge Monitoring
Strain gauge testing monitors deformations in materials under load. The sensor, fixed to the surface, detects small variations in length that occur due to tension. These variations alter the electrical resistance of the strain gauge, allowing deformation to be measured with high precision and structural behavior to be monitored.


Solar Panel Performance Test
The PV solar tracker evaluates the efficiency of solar panels by simultaneously measuring maximum power (Pmax), maximum power point voltage (Vmp), peak current (Imp), open circuit voltage (Voc) and short circuit current (Isc). This rapid analysis allows you to efficiently identify faults in PV modules.
