Independent core sampling, analysis and reinstatement quality assessment against SROH standards — an objective record you can rely on.
A reinstatement that looks fine on the surface can still fail against SROH standards underneath — and if that failure surfaces later, during an authority inspection or a future excavation nearby, it becomes your liability, whoever carried out the original work.
IMPACT's coring services carry out independent core sampling and analysis to verify reinstatement quality objectively, rather than taking a contractor's word for it. Because the assessment is independent, the resulting report carries weight — whether you're using it to confirm your own work is sound, or to hold a subcontractor to account.
This service works standalone or alongside our wider permitting and advisory support, giving you an evidenced, defensible record of reinstatement quality at the point it matters.
Physical core samples taken and analysed to verify reinstatement construction against specification.
Assessment of reinstatement work against Specification for Reinstatement of Openings in Highways standards.
Objective evaluation of reinstatement quality, identifying any shortfalls before they become an inspection failure.
Clear, evidenced reporting suitable for internal records, client assurance, or as a defensible position if reinstatement quality is ever queried.
We identify the appropriate sampling locations based on the works carried out and any specific areas of concern.
Physical samples are taken using industry-standard methods, with minimal disruption to the completed reinstatement.
Samples are assessed against current SROH standards to determine whether the reinstatement meets specification.
Findings are documented in a clear, independent report you can use for your own records or to evidence quality to a third party.
