Issues associated with the performance of building elements can have significant implications on the safety or functionality of a building or structure. The cause of the issue and its mechanism/s are often difficult to determine, particularly where there are several contributing factors. Insite Engineering adopt a pragmatic approach to building diagnostics, with the level of detail of the inspection/investigation tailored to the issue at hand. We are able to assess all forms of structures using industrial rope access and other high access techniques, permitting a close-up site-based assessment that provides our clients with a high degree of confidence that their asset is being comprehensively assessed. Our assessments broadly comprise:- Compliance with construction documentation- Emergency assessment of risk to public safety - Condition of cladding materials and systems- Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) & Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) cladding assessment & investigation- Assessment of remaining service life - Cause & source of water leaks.Our team members have a thorough knowledge of all forms of structures and we offer a suite of services that include not only inspection and diagnosis, but also the formulation of repair and maintenance strategies.
