Methodology
How We Investigate
A systematic, evidence-based approach to structural investigation that preserves building fabric and delivers actionable technical insights.
Process
Investigation Workflow
Scope & Brief
We assess your investigation requirements, review existing documentation, and define the optimal NDT methodology for your structure and objectives.
Field Investigation
Our technicians deploy GPR, UPV, thermography, and other NDT techniques on site. Non-invasive methods preserve building fabric while capturing comprehensive structural data.
Data Analysis
Our structural scientists process and interpret investigation data using advanced analysis software. We identify defects, assess severity, and map structural conditions digitally.
Technical Report
Detailed investigation report with findings, risk assessment, and remediation recommendations. Clear, actionable insights for asset owners and design engineers.
Core Principles
Our Approach
Non-Invasive First
We exhaust non-destructive methods before recommending any invasive testing. This preserves building fabric, reduces cost, and accelerates the investigation programme.
Heritage Sensitive
Our approach is specifically designed for heritage and sensitive structures. We understand the requirements of heritage consultants, conservation architects, and regulatory bodies.
Evidence-Based
Every recommendation is supported by measured data. We don't guess — we provide quantitative evidence that engineers and asset owners can rely on for decision-making.
Integrated Analysis
We combine multiple NDT techniques to cross-validate findings. GPR reveals rebar layout, UPV confirms concrete quality, thermography identifies moisture — together they tell the complete story.
