Water Weights provides specialist products, services, and project management for structural testing. This includes verification of structural integrity of buildings, testing of bridges, elevators, loading ramps, gangways, and decks.

The Water Weights range of flexidams and mattress bags allows uniform surface loadings to be applied. Advantages over traditional solid weights include ease of handling and positioning on site, very low carriage costs and gradual application of load.

Loading is measured by means of a calibrated flowmeter to give accuracy +/- 2%. By using our simple manifold arrangement several units can be filled simultaneously.
