Structural Engineering

Foundation and Underpinning

Cracking to your walls and ceilings is the first sign of structural foundation movement. There are a number of reasons why the movement is occurring but if it is not addressed it may continue and make your home or building unsafe.

Our engineers have extensive experience in identifying the extent and cause of foundation movement using a variety of methods using hydraulic and leaser level surveying, ground penetrating radar and geotechnical soil testing.

Once we have identified the cause of the problem we can then provide options for repair or simply the best method in what to do next.b We also can supply budget estimates we full engineered underpin designs.

Dilapidation Surveys

Earthworks, blasting and demolition can all cause damage to neighboring structures. However, often construction companies get blamed for damaging the neighboring properties when there were pre existing damages.

A dilapidation survey provides a comprehensive video recording of the existing structures before construction works begin. Post construction surveys can also be conducted to make comparisons and provide accurate extents of a construction related damages.

Dilapidations surveys are considered as cheap insurance policies to avoid potential future legal claims after your project is finalized.
