Core Testing & Inspections:
Thickness Verification: Field inspection and measurement of applied SFRM thickness per ASTM E605.
Density Testing: Sampling and lab testing to confirm proper density per ASTM E605/E736.
Adhesion/Cohesion Testing: Field pull tests to verify bonding strength to substrate per ASTM E736.
Substrate Preparation Review: Verifying cleanliness, primer compatibility, and surface condition before application.
Environmental Monitoring: Verifying temperature, humidity, and dew point compliance during application.
Final Field Report: Engineer-ready documentation accepted by LADBS, Orange County, and all SoCal jurisdictions.
