Construction inspection management encompasses the coordination, supervision, and oversight of construction activities, ensuring that they align with approved plans, regulations, and industry best practices.
Advanced Testing Solutions for Complex Site Conditions
Not all construction challenges are addressed by code-required inspections. Many demand advanced, field-adapted testing methods to diagnose unexpected issues, validate assumptions, or support engineering decisions in real-time.
AEIS’s Specialty Field Testing services provide clients with technically advanced, non-destructive, and minimally invasive testing methods that go beyond the standard inspection scope. These services are typically requested to investigate anomalies, verify as-built conditions, or support structural and geotechnical evaluations during construction.
While not mandated under the NYC Building Code, these tests are often critical to resolving disputes, mitigating risk, or guiding corrective work. Our engineers and certified technicians apply deep field experience and scientific rigor to ensure fast, accurate, and actionable results.
Common Specialty Testing Services Include:
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) – For locating rebar, post-tension cables, voids, and embedded utilities
Spectral Analysis of Surface Waves (SASW) – For profiling subsurface stiffness and evaluating soil-structure interaction
Impulse Echo & Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity – For flaw detection in concrete and estimating material uniformity
Rebound Hammer & Penetration Testing – For surface hardness and in-place concrete strength estimation
Half-Cell Potential and Resistivity – For corrosion potential assessment of embedded reinforcement
Infrared Thermography – For detecting delamination, moisture intrusion, or thermal irregularities
Flatness/Levelness and Surface Tolerances – For slabs and critical structural surfaces
In-situ Moisture, pH, and Chloride Content – For concrete durability evaluations
These services are frequently used to address:
Unexpected subsurface conditions during excavation
Discrepancies between as-built and design drawings
Disputes over material quality or placement
Restoration or retrofit projects needing non-destructive verification
Owner-driven QA investigations for risk mitigation
