High Rise & Low-Rise Buildings

Description

A condition survey was conducted on the external concrete elements of the three-storey Kendal AMTE, comprising office and server accommodation. Visual and hammer tap inspections identified defects such as cracking and spalling. Covermeter surveys measured concrete cover depth, carbonation depth tests evaluated carbonation extent, and chloride analysis was performed on extracted samples by a UKAS-accredited laboratory. The resulting interpretive report provided comprehensive findings and tailored recommendations to support effective maintenance planning.

Findings and repair recommendations were provided in a fully interpretive report.

Description

We completed a condition survey at Warrington AMTE, a six-storey building with sections from the 1950s and 1970s. Internal and external inspections were undertaken to identify visible defects using hammer tap and visual methods. Site testing included covermeter surveys and carbonation assessments, along with chloride analysis from extracted concrete samples. A full report was issued, including a bill of quantities and a detailed repair specification.

Description

We surveyed the external concrete at BT Blyth TE, a two-storey exchange building. A combination of visual inspection, hammer tapping, and covermeter testing was used to assess defects and reinforcement protection. Carbonation and chloride tests provided further insight into durability concerns. Recommendations for remedial works were outlined in an interpretive report.

Description

At BT Sheldon ATE, a two-storey facility, we conducted a full survey of the external concrete. Visual and hammer tap inspections were performed, alongside carbonation depth testing, covermeter assessments, and chloride content analysis. All findings were detailed in an interpretive report in accordance with exemplar repair protocols and included a budget estimate.

Description

We surveyed the external concrete at BT Wickford ATE, using visual inspection, hammer tapping, covermeter testing, and carbonation depth analysis. Chloride content was evaluated through UKAS lab testing. The findings were summarised in a report with recommended repairs and a budget for proposed works.

Description

An external survey of Brooklyn House involved visual and hammer tap inspections of the concrete façade. Testing included covermeter surveys to determine reinforcement depth, carbonation depth assessments, and chloride content analysis. The results supported repair planning to preserve the building’s safety and condition.

Description

We were commissioned to undertake repairs to the external fire escape stairs at the University Sports Centre, ensuring safe access and egress in the event of an emergency. The primary focus was to restore the durability and safety of the reinforced concrete elements exposed to weathering and heavy foot traffic.

The works began with the preparation and cleaning of all existing concrete surfaces to provide a sound substrate for repair. Defective concrete cover was removed and reinstated using a suitable hand-placed concrete repair mortar, restoring both strength and integrity. To enhance long-term protection, a masonry coating was applied to all exposed concrete surfaces. In addition, a non-slip deck membrane system was installed across the stair flights and landings, incorporating coloured nosings to improve visibility and safety for building users.

The completed works ensured that the fire escape stairs meet both functional and safety requirements, providing robust and compliant access routes for the University’s staff, students, and visitors.

Description

We undertook an external concrete survey at Beauver House, St Albans Job Centre. The survey included removal of loose concrete, visual inspections, and testing for chloride content, carbonation depth, and reinforcement cover. A full repair specification and bill of quantities were prepared based on the test results.

Description

We surveyed the external concrete of Singleton Street, a 1930s three-storey vacant retail building. Rope access operatives conducted hammer tap inspections and removed hazardous concrete. Corrosion-inhibiting primer was applied to exposed reinforcement. The findings informed recommendations for remedial works to maintain the building’s safety prior to future redevelopment.

Description

We conducted isolated testing at three residential blocks on the Fisherton Estate. Covermeter surveys established the depth of reinforcement, and carbonation testing evaluated long-term durability. The results were compiled into a technical report with professional recommendations for ongoing maintenance planning.

Description

An external concrete condition survey was undertaken at this nine-storey residential building in Manchester. Visual and hammer tap inspections were supported by carbonation testing, chloride analysis, and a covermeter survey. All defects were recorded on elevation drawings. Our report included tailored recommendations, repair specifications, and a budget estimate.

Description

A full internal and external survey of this two-storey residential block in Spain was conducted to assess long-term durability. We recorded defects such as spalling, cracking, and corrosion through visual and hammer tap surveys. Our report included annotated drawings, recommendations, and repair specifications.

Description

We undertook internal and external concrete surveys at King’s College Hospital, Denmark Hill. Visual inspections, carbonation depth testing, chloride analysis, and covermeter surveys were conducted. Our report detailed defects and included a material specification for required remedial works.

Description

We assessed the external concrete of the swimming pool and spa structure at Runnymede Hotel. Visual inspections were supported by carbonation testing, chloride analysis, and covermeter surveys. A full report included repair recommendations and cost estimates.

Description

A detailed survey of reinforced concrete columns in the service yard was carried out to assess condition. Visual and hammer tap inspections were used to identify spalling, delamination, and corrosion. Our report provided clear recommendations for remedial works.
