The Roch Force Deflection test and calculation software is a highly accurate, state-of-the-art method based on proven structural engineering principles allowing us to detect faults or fatigue in lighting columns across all critical areas and a capability unmatched by any other test method.
Our legally licensed software further enhances this process by quickly and accurately calculating for additional loadings, such as banners, Wi-Fi equipment, signs, and festive decorations in accordance with EN40, GN22, and PLG 06. This makes it the most precise structural test method in the UK, simulating real-life conditions to ensure your structures are not only “fit for purpose” but can withstand additional loadings, as well.
The test involves applying both push and pull forces in two different axes, allowing us to test all critical areas of a column without altering or damaging it. The forces and column displacement are measured simultaneously and the data is graphically visualized in real time using a force-deflection graph. This enables immediate on-site analysis, while secondary analysis checks ensure accuracy before final results and reports are issued.
With Roch’s advanced testing, you can be confident your lighting columns are safe and compliant with either a 6-year Certificate of Conformity for standard columns or a 30-month Certification for festive or additional attachments. This ensures that your columns remain structurally sound and fit for purpose, giving you peace of mind and helping to prevent potential failures.
Our unique combination of technology, expertise, and thorough analysis makes Roch NDT Services the leading choice for structural testing, ensuring the safety and longevity of your assets.
Roch NDT Services is accredited by RISQS (Verified + Sentinel), HERS, CHAS Elite, CIRAS and affiliated with the Institution of Lighting Professionals (ILP).
Structural integrity testing of lighting columns and/or vertically mounted systems consists of an inspection process in accordance with GN22 and EN40 standards. roch ndt services offers the most comprehensive structural testing process available in the UK, including:
Consistent structural testing is vital in ensuring public safety and avoiding both unnecessary litigation and costly subsequent repair. It just takes one faulty column to endanger a life or to cause additional damage. Structural testing can alert you to potential hazards and prevent disaster before it happens.
Unlike conventional structural testing providers, roch ndt services offers state-of-the-art technology and the highest inspection standards to help you ensure the safety of your vertically mounted systems – thus preventing structural failure and its possible life-threatening consequences.
roch ndt services provides comprehensive testing and analysis of a wide range of supportive and lighting columns, including those used for street lighting, masts, signalling equipment, traffic signs, and more – including all vertically mounted systems, regardless of their nature and type.
