Inspections, Testing & Surveys

You are here: Home > Services > Inspection, Testing & Surveys

From complete external building condition surveys to principal inspections of infrastructure assets, our specialist access solutions facilitate thorough structural examinations to be conducted efficiently. In addition to visual and tactile inspections, we are also equipped to perform a wide range of materials and non-destructive testing, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of asset condition.

Following completion of site works, all collected inspection, testing and survey data is compiled into a digital report format, including CAD drawings, supporting photographs and recommended remedial actions. This provides clarity, enabling planned maintenance works to be effectively budgeted and scheduled.

We are capable of covering a wide range of structures, including bridges, buildings, shafts, voids, retaining walls, culverts, tunnels, docks, piers and quaysides. Contact a member of our team to find out more about our solutions.
