Component Specific Condition Assessments and Testing
We regularly perform detailed component specific assessments and testing to provide factual evidence based support of findings and recommendations. This increased level of detail allows us to better refine opinions of cost, timing for repairs, and development of repair strategy options over a typical property condition assessment.
Assessments and investigations may include water penetration testing to source leaks, air leakage testing, infrared thermography, destructive openings to determine as-built conditions, adhesion testing, crack monitoring, anchor load testing, material testing (i.e. carbonation and chloride testing of concrete), window performance testing, and enclosure integrity testing to name a few. These investigations often require special access provisions including lifts, suspended stages, and/or bosun chair.
A sampling of component specific assessments are as follows:
Building Envelope
- Thermal, Air and Moisture Control Systems
- Foundations
- Wall Claddings – Masonry, Stone, Concrete, Curtain and Window Walls, Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS), Stucco, Panel/Siding Systems (i.e. prefinished metal, aluminum, vinyl, wood or wood composite, simulated masonry/stone, fibre cement and porcelain)
- Fenestrations – Windows, Doors, and Skylights
- Roofing Systems
Structural
- FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) Retrofit
- Concrete, Steel and Masonry Analysis
- Roof Anchor Systems
- Parking Garages
- Balconies and Guards
- Foundations, Retaining Walls, and Shoring
Site Components
- Pavements, Curbs, and Walkways
- Site Grading and Drainage
