Are you unsure about the actual load-bearing capacity of a floor, bridge, or other structure? A load test provides the answer based on measurable, objective data — rather than merely theoretical calculations. As part of our stability services, Sanacon performs load tests in accordance with applicable standards, with a strong focus on safety, accuracy, and clear reporting.
In a load test, a structure is subjected to a controlled, predetermined load, while the deformation and behavior of the structure are accurately measured. This allows for an objective determination of whether a floor, bridge, roof, or other load-bearing structure can effectively withstand the intended load—without having to rely exclusively on calculation models or outdated plans. Within our stability expertise, this is a valuable addition to the classic stability study, particularly for existing structures whose material properties, reinforcement, or current condition are not known with certainty.
Our structural engineers work with a scientifically sound methodology, structured into clear steps:
Where necessary, the load test is combined with concrete testing by BETON+ for a fully substantiated stability dossier.
Within our stability services, we recommend a test load in the following situations:
