Best Non-Destructive Testing in Hyderabad

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is a set of techniques that check the condition of concrete and structural components without harming them. In the fast growing construction scene of Hyderabad, NDT enables owners to assess critical structures safely. Using the methods of ultrasonic pulse velocity, rebound hammer tests, cover meter scans and infrared imaging, we check the strength of concrete, detect air voids, check reinforcement cover and find corrosion, all without drilling cores or sampling. NDT techniques enable an evaluation of the quality, integrity and strength properties of assets with no permanent damage. NDT of concrete offers a technique that detects flaws and discontinuities and wear within the concrete structure.

We offer two NDT options for Hyderabad residents: Inside City (standard check-up within Hyderabad municipal areas) and Outside City Limits (for locations in surrounding districts and towns). Both options use the same high-value equipment; the latter simply covers extended travel and logistics.

Typical NDT methods we use are

Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV)

Sends sound waves through concrete; slower travel can indicate cracks or voids.

Rebound Hammer Test

Measures surface hardness of concrete; estimates compressive strength non-intrusively.

Cover Meter Survey

Locates rebar depth and orientation under the surface.

Infrared Thermography

Identifies delamination or moisture pockets by heat patterns.

Half-Cell Potential (for corrosion)

Checks likelihood of steel rebar corrosion (essential in older Hyderabad flats).

Why use NDT?

It’s the safest way to verify structural health. For example, if you’re unsure about an old RCC beam, UPV can confirm its integrity without cutting it open. Or, before lifting a heavy machine onto the terrace, NDT can prove the slab can handle the load. It’s also mandated by some codes for bridges and high-risk buildings.

 After testing, we provide a detailed report with findings and recommendations. For critical infrastructure in Hyderabad, like apartment blocks or office towers, using NDT can prevent disasters by catching hidden defects early. If the tests pass, you have documented proof of safety (useful for banks, insurers or buyers). If issues are found, we advise precise fixes.

FAQ's

When should I consider NDT for my property?

NDT is useful if you need assurance about hidden issues. For example, before converting a building or adding floors or if an older structure shows wear, NDT can verify the actual material strength. It’s also good after events like major storms to check for unseen damage. Basically, if you want to be sure about your structure’s strength without opening walls, NDT is the tool of choice.

A standard check-up is mostly visual. NDT goes deeper: we use instruments (like ultrasonic testers and rebound hammers) to scientifically measure your concrete’s strength and detect hidden flaws. All testing is done without drilling or damaging the structure. In fact, Cyond offers advanced, damage-free structural analysis inside the city (around ₹29,500).

Yes. Cyond offers NDT at both urban and suburban locations. The in-city diagnosis costs around ₹29,500, while the out-of-city package is about ₹35,400. The testing methods are the same; the price difference reflects travel and logistics. In both cases, our team comes fully equipped.

Typical NDT tools include ultrasonic pulse velocity meters (to test concrete consistency), rebound hammers (to estimate strength), and covermeters or rebar detectors (to locate reinforcement). We may also use infrared cameras to spot delamination or thermal anomalies. These tools give us data on your structure’s condition instantly and accurately.
