Industrial structures operate under demanding loading conditions and often harsh environmental exposure. SiteOps investigates warehouse floors, factory columns, plant structures, silos, and storage facilities where structural adequacy directly affects operational safety and production continuity.
Key investigation drivers include increased loading from operational changes, structural deterioration from chemical or temperature exposure, fire damage assessment, and change of use structural verification. Our GPR scanning maps reinforcement layout for capacity assessment, UPV evaluates concrete quality, and drone inspection accesses elevated structures safely.
SiteOps designs investigation programmes that work within industrial operational schedules — investigating during shutdowns, weekend periods, or after hours to minimise production impact.
Typical challenges
- Investigating during limited shutdown windows
- Chemical and temperature exposure assessment
- Increased loading verification for operational changes
- Elevated structure access (silos, overhead cranes, plant)
- Floor slab capacity for heavy plant and storage
- Fire damage and post-event assessment
