Rope Access Building Inspections Birmingham

Building Inspection and Survey using Rope Access Methods

Our most recent project consisted of carrying out a full safety defect inspection to two large office blocks in Solihull.

The Building Managers had had reports of spalling concrete off the building.

Our Specialist Rope Access Team were tasked to carry out a full safety defect survey, logging and referencing any existing defects and new defects.

Any new defects were found by hammer testing the building surface for hollow points which could mean delamination of the substrate......this was then removed.


We had also been tasked to find out depth of cover to the re-bar using cover meters

 
After choosing the lowest point of cover, a sample was taken and a carbonation test carried out.
