Structural Survey
At Infinite Focus, we provide comprehensive Structural Survey services that ensure the safety, stability, and longevity of buildings and infrastructure. Our structural surveys are carried out by experienced professionals using advanced diagnostic tools and methodologies. These surveys identify potential risks, assess the condition of existing structures, and provide actionable insights for maintenance, repair, or improvement.
We focus on delivering precise, data-driven assessments to support informed decision-making for property owners, developers, and stakeholders.
Our Structural Survey Services Include:
1. Building Condition Surveys
We assess the current condition of buildings to identify deterioration, damage, or potential risks, enabling property owners and managers to prioritize maintenance.
- Comprehensive visual inspections supported by structural analysis tools.
- Assessment of structural integrity to identify hazards and unsafe conditions.
- Recommendations for repair, rehabilitation, or reinforcement.
2. Deflection & Settlement Analysis
Structural anomalies like deflection, foundation settlement, or subsidence can compromise the safety of a building. Our surveys provide detailed analysis to assess these conditions:
- Identification and analysis of structural deformation patterns.
- Geotechnical investigations to determine underlying causes.
- Strategic intervention plans to stabilize and mitigate structural risks.
3. Retrospective Survey for Alterations & Extensions
Alterations, extensions, or change-of-use in buildings may affect their structural integrity. We conduct in-depth retrospective surveys to assess these changes:
- Analysis of attic conversions, extension reinforcements, or major structural modifications.
- Identification of structural weaknesses and assessment of compliance with current standards.
- Feasibility studies for proposed retrofits or upgrades.
4. Assessment for Compliance & Certification
Structural surveys are essential for compliance with local building codes and safety regulations. We ensure properties meet all legal and technical requirements:
- Structural assessments required for Building Compliance Certificates.
- BC(A)R inspections for new builds, changes of use, or structural modifications.
- Detailed reporting to meet planning, permitting, and regulatory needs.
5. Advanced Diagnostic Techniques
We utilize advanced diagnostic methods to ensure our structural analysis is accurate, detailed, and up to date:
- Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Utilizing ultrasound, infrared thermography, radiographic testing, and other NDT methods to assess hidden damage without structural disruption.
- Digital modeling and simulations to predict potential failure points and assess structural response under varying load conditions.
- Advanced tools like finite element analysis (FEA) and laser scanning for precision diagnostics.
6. Maintenance Planning & Recommendations
Following our survey findings, we provide clients with tailored maintenance strategies to extend the life of their assets:
- Prioritization of repair work based on risk and cost-benefit analysis.
- Long-term maintenance strategies to mitigate structural deterioration.
- Cost-effective solutions for structural upgrades or rehabilitation.
