Swantest is a specialist testing and monitoring company providing detailed tests, inspection and verification of materials and installations across the construction and demolition industry.
Our experienced engineers have the ability to design test methods, implement on site and produce detailed reports across a wide range of projects, providing our clients with the certification and peace of mind they require. We are now accreditted for testing in shear - when necessary.

With a wide array of equipment we have the ability to carry out tests of small anchors carrying a few kilograms to large structural fixings carrying heavy loads. Digtal data capture allows load movement curves to be recorded for a more detailed picture of anchor performance - especially useful in shear tests. We can also provide bespoke testing for oversized fixings or unique circumstances. The strength and durability of these fixings is reliant on the base material, the installation process and the intended use so it is vital that they are tested after installation and regularly checked.

As part of a large temporary works consultancy we have a bespoke design team with over 50 years' experience in the construction and demolition industry. We pride ourselves on being able to provide a solution to all of our client's requirements.
