Building Defect Investigations and Surveys

Building defect investigations and surveys are needed not only when problems arise but when assurance is required that defects do not exist or that the standard of construction is such that problems are unlikely.

Stanger have extensive experience of this type of work and in addition to the normal methods of investigation (drilled dust sampling, covermeter, crack measurement, etc) provides sophisticated techniques such as Borescope and Thermography Analysis. Investigations on-site are supported by a comprehensive range of laboratory, analytical and testing facilities capable of tackling most materials problems whether of an engineering, chemical, geotechnical or metallurgical nature.
