Gain knowledge of the condition of your assets
With all asset maintenance works it is important to understand the nature and extent of any deterioration before the refurbishment works are planned and executed. BS EN1504 states; there must be a concrete condition survey and an interpretation of the results before embarking on a concrete repair project! Without a thorough concrete condition survey it is not possible to decide on the methodology of the repairs, or whether the structure requires any further protection; such as an anti-carbonation coating, or corrosion prevention.
A thorough Inspection, Assessment/ Structural Investigation should be considered as risk mitigation, e.g. mitigating the risks of dilapidations developing into defects /unknowns and developing into extra overs during repair and refurbishment projects. With the former we can assist you with maintaining your structures in safe, operational condition, whilst gathering the data needed to prioritise timely maintenance and for the latter we can assist you take budgetary control, minimising the risks of costly overruns.
