Experts in On-site Investigative Testing and Scanning
Experienced, Professional, Reliable
Specialising in compliance testing and data collection within the Australian construction industry, QLD Testing & Scanning (QTS) brings industry-leading technical experience to the collection, interpretation, and reporting of on-site test data. QTS understands the importance of ensuring risk mitigation, quality assurance, and installation compliance during the construction of a structural asset. We have tailored our service offering to assist contractors, designers, and suppliers identify inadequately installed or deteriorated structural elements, see below for a summary of QTS's current services:
Anchor Testing: In-situ tensile (proof and ultimate) testing of construction fasteners and reinforcement,
As-built Asset 3D Scanning and Modelling: Photogrammetry and LiDar scanning and point cloud modeling of existing assets
Fastener Design, Installation, and Remediation Consulting: In-office or on-site support for designers, contractors, and suppliers
Our knowledge of the fundamental principles of anchor design and experience in anchor installation is the backbone for our holistic service offering and allows us to collaborate effectively with all parties on the construction site.
"If anchors are not selected and installed correctly, they might not have the capability to resist loads as intended. The security of the fixture and, in some cases, the structure might then be compromised, leading to failure with consequential economic loss, injury, or even death."
BS 8539
Ensuring testing is performed safely and carefully with high precision, QTS follows worldwide best practice test procedures, extracted from the Australian Engineered Fasteners and Anchors Council (AEFAC), British Standards, and the European Organisation for Technical Assessment (EOTA).

Looking to convert an existing asset into a digital environment? Our QTS Engineers can assist with LiDar (Pointcloud) scanning for spatially accurate models, and Photogrammetry 3D modeling for visually accurate models.
Based on years of experience and training, our Engineers are able to combine both models, creating a spatially and visually accurate digital twin of your existing asset. All assets can be scanned, ranging from houses to bridges, highrise structures, marine assets, live construction sites, plant, services, and non-structural architectural features.
