Tiki Hotel Apartments Testing Programme
Targeted durability testing programme at Tiki Hotel Apartments to establish carbonation and chloride-ion risk at nominated structural locations.
Scope
Concrete sampling and testing at three nominated locations for carbonation penetration depth and chloride-ion content.
Challenge
The engineering team needed hard durability evidence to support remediation design in a live hotel context where indiscriminate invasive work was not desirable. Results needed to be specific, defensible, and directly usable for design decisions.
Approach
SiteOps completed the nominated sampling and testing scope and consolidated laboratory outcomes into a practical investigation report. The reporting emphasized implications for remediation planning rather than raw data alone.
Outcome
The programme produced location-specific durability inputs that improved design certainty and procurement planning. Teams could move forward with more confidence on scope and sequencing.
Investigation data
Key findings
Carbonation and chloride testing confirmed condition variance by location
Sampling outputs provided objective data for remediation scope refinement
Targeted testing minimized unnecessary invasive works
Report outputs aligned with consultant design workflow needs
Findings reduced uncertainty around durability-driven intervention priorities
