Thank you for requesting the Hilti onsite testing services

Our team will reach out to you within 24 hours to organise the testing and discuss a price indication based on estimated hours required.

Please note that this is a formal paid service provided by Hilti Australia with digital equipment and reporting. 

Please ensure that the site/application is prepared for the service.

Anchors and loads that can be tested:

We have a range of testing tools that can be used to test Hilti anchors with the characteristics below:

·        Threaded Rods:                                           Up to M36 and 370 kN

·        Rebar:                                                           Up to N34 and 370 kN, and

·        Mechanical Anchors & Fastenings:          Mechanical Anchors, up to 30  50kN (depending on anchor type and tester availability at the required location)

Two main types of tension tests can be performed on site:

1. Ultimate load test [where the quality of substrate is unknown], and
2. Proof Load test

·        NB 1: 98% of our tests are Proof Load Tests, as in, Proof of Installation Quality – with a successful tension load test)

·        NB 2: We do not undertake shear load testing.

Some conditions that may affect the ability perform the testing, or the cost for the service include:

1.      Site Induction(s): Inform in advance of any Site Induction requirements, times & location

2.      Safety: Ensure a safe working environment

3.      Access: Consider any access requirements & coordinate EWP with licensed operator

4.      PPE: Please inform Hilti Tester if gumboots are required (in case of mud), or other non-standard PPE are required

5.      Installation: Please ensure all anchors have been installed prior to the test, and that Hilti Chemical Anchors have fully cured, otherwise the test may be cancelled or postponed

6.      Threaded Rods: More accurate testing is performed on anchor rods which have not been loaded with fixtures/plates; Nuts, washers, plates, fixings, duct tape etc should be removed from the rods by the customer prior to the start of the testing session

7.      Rebar: We require a straight bar with a minimum of 350-400mm above the concrete surface

8.      Site Support: A customer representative of the client shall accompany testing staff and know the location of the anchors to be tested, witness the process, and counter sign the QA report

9.      Lead-in Times: Up to 5 working days’ notice is preferred for scheduling purposes but does vary depending on demand

10.    Testing loads: Should be validated by the responsible design engineer prior to the testing date

Each on site test will be followed by a quote for the cost of the service. Once a PO is generated, you receive:

• A formal Anchor Test Report
• Photographs of the results, and
• Tool Calibration information

On-Site Anchor Testing Pricing

Notes: the use of each tester depends not only on tensile loading required, but also on the application and site conditions.

Different rates will apply if tests are required to be performed outside or normal working hours or require extra travel times.
