Consulting & Forensic Investigations

Concrete Performance Analysis by Industry Experts

Concrete failures rarely happen without warning. Cracks, delamination, rocking joints, moisture-related breakdown, and slab settlement are all indicators of underlying performance concerns that require technical evaluation. Loral Concrete Slab Solutions provides forensic consulting services focused on diagnosing the source of failure and outlining corrective strategies. Our evaluations follow a structured process designed to deliver accurate findings, detailed documentation, and actionable recommendations.

Joint Stability Testing

Proper joint stability testing verifies slab support conditions and quantifies vertical differential movement under live industrial loading. Using controlled forklift load simulation in accordance with ACI 360R-10, Loral measures joint performance, evaluates load transfer capability, and identifies loss of subgrade support or deterioration at slab edges. When combined with forensic analysis and repair design, our evaluations provide data-driven recommendations that restore structural integrity and extend the service life of high-traffic concrete floors

Subgrade & Concrete Mixture Sampling

Subgrade and concrete mixture sampling provide critical data regarding slab performance and long-term durability. Loral performs core extraction, subgrade evaluation, and laboratory testing coordination to determine concrete strength, thickness, reinforcement placement, moisture conditions, and mix characteristics. When required, we assess subbase support, density, and material composition to identify contributing factors to cracking, settlement, or joint deterioration. Our forensic sampling process delivers objective, defensible findings that guide repair design, warranty evaluation, and future slab specifications.

Slab Evaluations

Loral Concrete performs detailed slab investigations for commercial and industrial facilities. We evaluate joint stability, slab flatness, gloss, elevation differentials, cracking, curling, and load transfer performance using controlled load testing, elevation profiling, and core sampling. Our reports provide quantified data, engineering-based analysis, and clear repair recommendations, giving owners and engineers defensible information for warranty review, corrective action planning, and long-term floor performance management.

Consulting & Investigations

Loral Concrete Slab Solutions provides consulting and investigative services focused on diagnosing concrete floor performance issues and identifying practical long-term solutions. Assessments may include forensic consulting, review of construction practices, evaluation of mix design and finishing operations, and investigation of conditions such as cracking, curling, joint deterioration, and surface delamination. Many investigations also include evaluation of floor flatness, joint performance, and operational tolerances in warehouse and industrial environments. Findings are supported by field observations, measurements, and photographic documentation. When necessary, selective coring or material evaluation may be performed to better understand slab construction and performance characteristics.
Our evaluations provide clear identification of the underlying causes of slab distress, along with practical recommendations for repair, stabilization, or improved construction practices.
