Anchor Bolt Inspection & Testing
What Types of Anchors Can Be Tested?
Anchor testing applies to a wide range of mechanical, chemical, and resin-based fixings used in construction, engineering, industrial and marine settings.
Because different environments and loads affect anchor performance, regular testing ensures long-term safety and structural reliability.
Our inspection includes deformation, corrosion, wear and tare.
All testing is logged, verification tagged and asset managed, it is important tight record keeping is in place, we provide this for our customers.
Marine Environments
We inspect and test anchor fixings on ships and coastlines.
What we do?
Climbwired provide certified on-site testing for all anchors and fixings across Land-based and Marine environments.
Using calibrated hydraulic equipment and approved methods, we verify that anchors meet load-bearing standards for structural safety and regulatory compliance.
What is Anchor Testing?
Anchor testing applies controlled load forces to anchors or fixings to measure their strength and ensure they meet specific performance standards. Test forces are normally non-destructive testing or known as NDT.
A calibrated hydraulic tester applies tension or shear forces to the anchor while measuring its resistance to movement or failure.
Anchor testing is essential in any setting where safety, stability, and structural integrity rely on the strength of embedded or surface-mounted fixings.
Because site conditions vary and materials can affect anchor performance, on-site testing ensures that each anchor performs reliably in its actual environment.
Is Anchor Testing Legally Required?
Anchor testing is often required under UK construction and health & safety regulations, including BS 8539 (Fasteners), EN 795 (Fall Protection Anchors), and LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations).
Any structure involving load-bearing anchors, safety fixings, or facade installations may require certified anchor testing to ensure compliance.
Insurers, regulatory bodies, and facility managers may request proof of testing, regular inspections supports maintenance schedules and identifies issues prior to fixings failures.
