Infrastructure Testing & Compliance Equipment
Equipment for roading, bridge inspection, structural assessment, earthworks, and on-site safety compliance across New Zealand infrastructure projects.
Built for Infrastructure Testing & Compliance
Infrastructure testing in New Zealand operates within a defined regulatory framework. NZTA specifications govern pavement design and materials acceptance, WorkSafe NZ sets the compliance requirements for on-site safety systems, and the New Zealand Building Code underpins structural assessment and reporting. Testing equipment used on public works and infrastructure projects needs to meet the relevant standard, produce documented results, and hold up to scrutiny from third-party reviewers, auditors, and procurement agencies.
Our range covers the primary testing disciplines required across roading, bridge and structure inspection, earthworks, and site safety compliance. Equipment meets AS/NZS, ASTM, and EN standards where applicable, and individual products are supplied with calibration certificates suited to formal inspection and quality assurance programmes.
Common Testing Applications
Roading and Pavement Materials Testing
Pavement construction and rehabilitation testing spans multiple disciplines from aggregate quality through to bitumen characterisation and subgrade assessment. Our aggregate testing range includes the LA Abrasion machine to ASTM C131 for assessing resistance to degradation, and motorised sieve shakers for particle size grading to AS 1141. For bitumen characterisation in pavement mix design and quality control programmes, our asphalt testing range covers penetration testing, ring and ball softening point, ductility, and bitumen content by centrifuge extraction and ignition oven methods. CBR testing for subgrade and subbase characterisation under NZTA pavement design requirements is also covered, with both automatic and manual apparatus configurations available. For pavement surface assessment, our skid resistance tester meets AS/NZS 4586 and ASTM E303 for pendulum friction testing on road and pedestrian surfaces.
Bridge and Structural Concrete Inspection
Condition assessment of reinforced concrete bridges, retaining walls, and public structures requires a defined set of inspection tools that go beyond visual survey. Our concrete NDT range for infrastructure inspection includes electromagnetic rebar locators with up to 200mm detection depth for mapping reinforcement layout and cover depth, digital rebound hammers for rapid in-situ strength estimation with data logging for documented survey records, crack integrated detectors measuring both crack width and depth simultaneously, and ultrasonic pulse velocity testers for detecting internal voids, delaminations, and areas of reduced concrete quality. Pull-off adhesion testing for bridge deck waterproofing membranes and concrete repair systems is also available using the QualiPAT hydraulic pull-off tester to ASTM D4541 and ISO 4624.
Steel Structure and Corrosion Inspection
Steel bridges, culverts, sign gantries, and other infrastructure steel elements require periodic inspection for corrosion and structural integrity. Our ultrasonic thickness gauge range from Cygnus Instruments and Dakota includes multi-mode through-coating gauges capable of measuring remaining wall thickness without removing protective coatings, with the Cygnus range carrying endorsement from DNV, Bureau Veritas, and Lloyd's for corrosion survey applications. For weld inspection on structural steel, our ultrasonic flaw detector range covers entry-level portable instruments through to advanced field units with encoded B-Scan capability. Surface crack detection on steel components is covered by our magnetic particle inspection range including the A2 Lightweight Yoke and the ISO 9934-2 Reference Block Type 1 for daily system verification.
WorkSafe Compliance and Safety Testing
On-site safety system testing is a compliance requirement under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and the relevant AS/NZS standards that sit beneath it. Our anchor testing range covers three distinct compliance applications. The QualiAnchor M2000 PRO is a universal anchor tester for post-installed fixings in concrete and masonry, covering M4 through M20 threaded anchors and ring bolts across a 0–25kN load range with a 12-month calibration certificate. The QualiHarness M2000 is specifically configured for testing fall arrest eye bolt anchor points to AS/NZS 1891.4, with the M12 ringbolt adaptor required for this application included in the kit. The QualiScaffold M2000 covers scaffold tie anchor testing to NZS 5828, with M16 threaded stud adaptors supplied as standard. All three are analogue instruments supplied with a 12-month calibration certificate.
Why Choose TestingCore
Equipment That Supports Documented, Defensible Testing
Infrastructure testing results don't just inform construction decisions, they become part of a project record that may be reviewed by clients, auditors, consent authorities, or engineers for the life of the asset. Equipment supplied through TestingCore comes with calibration certificates, meets the standards referenced in NZ infrastructure specifications, and is selected on the basis of performance rather than price positioning.
We supply testing and inspection equipment to local authorities, infrastructure consultancies, construction contractors, and government agencies across New Zealand. If you are specifying equipment for a maintenance inspection programme, sourcing instruments for a construction QA plan, or replacing specific items within an existing testing regime, our team can provide specifications, standard compliance confirmation, and lead times on request.
Standards and Procurement
Products across our infrastructure range meet ASTM, AS/NZS, and EN standards as specified on individual product pages. For projects with specific procurement requirements - including those under NZ Government Rules of Sourcing or third-party audit frameworks - contact us at sales@testingcore.com to confirm that individual instruments meet your programme requirements and to obtain technical documentation.
