Examinations of structures

Examinations of structures in a wide range of aspects

  • Examination of loadbearing capacity (resistance), structural integrity and durability of structures including damage assessment
  • Creation of expert opinions and restoration concepts
  • Sampling for laboratory analysis, e.g. to determine compressive and tensile strength, carbonation depth, chloride content, and to test frost resistance
  • Locating of reinforcement and tendons in structures, e.g. using georadar, ultrasound
  • Test loads on structures
  • Endoscopic examinations
  • Damage assessment in case of alkali-silica reaction (ASR)
  • Measurements and monitoring of structures
  • Examination of wooden structures, e.g. laminated beams and in case of insect and fungal attack
  • Examination of structures after exposure to fire
