Frequently asked questions
What benefits does structural investigation provide?
Structural investigation helps prevent future defects, ensures good structural performance, reduces resource wastage, minimizes failure risk, and protects against compensation claims and reputation damage.
How does structural health monitoring (SHM) help with long-term maintenance?
Our SHM systems use fiber optic, corrosion, and thermal sensors to track structural performance over 50+ years. This proactive monitoring reduces costs, improves safety, and extends the life of your assets.
Can you assess structures already built, or do you only work on new construction?
We assess new and existing structures, ensuring they comply with design specifications, remain structurally sound, and meet all safety regulations throughout their lifecycle.
What types of failure analysis do you conduct?
We diagnose and resolve structural issues such as fire damage, concrete cracking, leaks, dampness, tilting, paint, and flooring failures. Our comprehensive investigations ensure your structures remain safe and compliant.
