inspection, quality control and workmanship assessment of the construction and
associated industries play a vital role in ensuring that today’s building and
infrastructure perform adequately over long time periods. We work with clients
to meet construction material requirements, evaluate potential material failures
for helping clients to formulate appropriate maintenance plans in property
managements, and investigate construction materials related problems and
failures when they occurred.
- Infrared (IR) Thermography
-
In
recent years, the IR survey has been widely used by architects,
construction engineers and property managers to assess the quality of
building structures. IR thermography is a method for measuring the
temperature distribution of a surface. It is a simple, rapid and
non-contact method for indicating areas where defects or weak points
exist. Our
certified thermographers can use the state-of-the-art infrared camera
to detect a host of problems from structural components and building
shells.
- Water Seepage Investigation
-
Water seepage problem is bothering lot of property owners and the tenants. We have years of experience in detecting the source of seepage using different technologies, such as the infrared survey, and have been successful to solve numbers of water seepage problem.
We have recently brought the new technology of microwave moisture measurement to
provide a more comprehensive solution to the water seepage problem.
- Workmanship Assessment
-
The assessment is usually conducted after
construction and maintenance work and even during material design
stage because it is important to conduct testing to make sure the
workmanship and materials used whether they are acceptable. The
purpose of these tests is aimed at measuring the mechanical tensile
strength of the building related materials. The test findings offer
data for not only site engineers to determine the strength and
durability of the structure, but also material suppliers or designers
to realize the performance of the materials used in an in-situ
environment.
- Structural Diagnostic Test
-
Structural
diagnostic test resembles the IR thermography and workmanship
assessment, but it is usually conducted prior to carrying out any
repair or maintenance work in a building. The investigation involves
different destructive or non-destructive tests so as to provide
information on integrity and durability of structures. Engineer or
architect can devise an appropriate, cost-effective plan for the
repair on the basis of the test results.
