Building & Construction

With the development of new materials and products, time constraints in manufacturing and building and the long life span of final constructions, it is almost inevitable that problems can occur.

Our extensive in-house track record of development, testing, characterisation of components and build structures with industry gives us a unique insight into problems.

Our areas of expertise include:

• Workmanship - has the work on the site been conducted properly and if not what impact has this had on the site
• Product conformity – have materials been used that reach the specified or legal requirements for the site
• Site investigations – evaluation of all the factors involved in problems from physical observations, to on site measurements to detailed sampling programmes and subsequent laboratory evaluation
• Degradation of materials by physical environment such as frost damage
• Design criteria
• Bricks
• Clay pipes, pavers
• Concrete and concrete blocks
• Tiles and tiled installations, internal & external.
