Quite often, prospective property owners are confounded with the decision to purchase existing houses or buildings due to uncertainties of the structural soundness. However, we can provide thorough assessments of the various systems, structural framing, and building envelope to ensure that you get value for your money.
We also provide an objective means of evaluating existing structures through the use of:
1) Rebound hammer
- Quickly test the compressive strength of hardened concrete
- Identify areas with a concrete structure with properties that vary from the norm, such as pockets of concrete with different compressive strength levels
- Quickly measure the compressive strength of precast concrete products such as block, beams etc.
2) Rebar locator (+determination of rebar size and cover) using eddy current technology
- Accurately locate, determine the depth of, and estimate the size of metal objects within reinforced concrete structures
- Carry out conformity checks on new buildings
- Evaluation of existing buildings
- Useful when carrying out drilling, cutting or coring operations
