In our ever-changing world, buildings, engineering structures and the like are subject to a wide range of influences.
OBJECTIVES
Accurately identifying manufacturing defects or wear-and-tear issues enables us to verify the sound structural condition of a structure. Providing this information with precision is part of our expertise.
DETAILED EXPLANATIONS
The chartered surveyor begins their assignment by selecting the most appropriate method to ensure the level of accuracy required by the client, as part of monitoring the structure’s behaviour over time.
This approach involves continuously monitoring the behaviour of a structure under various external stresses.
Practical examples of real-time monitoring:
- Testing a bridge’s load-bearing capacity before it is put into service,
- Observing how a dam responds to pressure,
- Measuring the vibrations of a ski lift tower subjected to strong and erratic winds, etc.
