Anchor Pull-Out & Proof Testing
Anchor Testing Sydney
ConcreteX provides anchor pull-out and proof testing in alignment with AS 5216 and AEFAC Technical Note TN-05. Testing is conducted using calibrated hydraulic equipment and structured methodology suitable for engineering assessment and compliance verification.
At ConcreteX, we deliver more than a simple pass-or-fail result. Our testing provides clear, documented evidence that anchors are installed correctly and are compliant with safety and engineering requirements. This verification is critical for projects where failure is not an option, giving builders, contractors, and asset owners complete confidence in every fixing.
When Anchor Testing is Required:
Anchor pull-out and proof testing is typically undertaken for:
Verification of post-installed anchors prior to loading
QA testing of structural or safety-critical fixings
Capacity confirmation where documentation is incomplete
Remedial or change-of-use works
Compliance with project specifications or engineering direction
Common applications include façade supports, guardrails, mechanical plant fixings, structural steel connections, and post-fixed stair stringers.
Testing Methodology
Each test is conducted in accordance with a defined scope, including nominated test load, anchor type, and acceptance criteria.
The required loading42 is applied incrementally using calibrated hydraulic equipment, with displacement monitored and recorded throughout the test sequence.
Test results are documented and assessed against nominated criteria to determine compliance.
Anchor Testing Reports Include
Anchor type and location
Applied test loads
Measured displacement
Pass/fail assessment against nominated criteria
Assumptions and limitations of testing
Reports are structured to support engineering review and project documentation requirements.
