Inspection and research
Prior to the preparation of design documentations, inspection of existing buildings and structures is an important prerequisite for remodel, reconstruction, and technical refurbishment.
Design engineers use the Technical Conclusion from the inspection as the initial inputs to the design.
The timing and cost of subsequent construction and installation work largely depends on the accuracy of the design decisions, the performance and professionalism of the inspection process carried out.
Stages:
- Dimensional measurement of buildings, sides
- Digitization of plans, views, and sections
- Tacheometric survey of building bearing structures (trigonometric leveling)
- Inspection of trusses, roofs (field measurements) and attic
- Examining supporting structures for reinforcement definition (including magnetic method) and results assessment.
- Inspection of load-bearing structures (foundations, walls, columns, floors, roof slabs, laboratory soil analysis)
- Checking the strength of materials (shear-off, rebound)
- Providing condition assessment
- Make recommendations for eliminating identified defects
- Checking the strength of metal structures
- Inspection of engineering systems
- Performing verification calculations for the bearing capacity of structures, heat engineering calculations
- Other required tasksы
- Formation of Technical Conclusion.
The Department of Buildings and Structures Inspection at Brazen Architecture & Engineering company has extensive experience in inspecting buildings of various types, floors, and areas. We also have multiple experiences in defending results in the expertise.
Instrumental equipment and professional software are used in order to carry out the tasks, including:
- Complex computing of structural strength analysis by finite element method SCAD
- Leica, Nikon Tacheometers
- Schmidt Hammer Sclerometers
- Concrete strength measuring instruments IPS-MG 4.03
- Testo differential pressure meters
- Concrete cover meters POISK-2
- Meters of strength of materials ONIKS-1.06.050
- Ultrasonic thickness gauges
- Devices for testing the strength of steel
Result:
Technical Conclusion of load-bearing enclosing structures and facility engineering systems.
