How We Help Insurers and Environmental Consultants
We work closely with insurers, environmental consultants, and contractors to deliver comprehensive structural engineering support at every stage of the remediation process.
Here’s how we can assist:
Comprehensive Site Assessment.
Conduct pre-condition and structural surveys to document existing conditions.
Pre-condition surveys
Pre-condition surveys can be undertaken alongside the structural assessment to establish pre-remedial conditions. So important when substantial temporary support is required to allow removal of contaminated materials.
Clear Communication.
Identify cracks, settlement, or weakening of walls and foundations caused by contamination. Pinpoint areas where contamination has spread, helping you focus your efforts effectively.
Foundation & Substructure Evaluation
Inspect foundations and substructures for damage caused by oil spills or contaminants. Recommend underpinning solutions to strengthen foundations and ensure long-term stability.
Temporary Propping & Structural Support.
Design propping solutions to maintain safety throughout the cleanup process.
Material Durability & Selection
Recommend materials resistant to contamination for repairs, ensuring durability and structural integrity. Assess existing materials to confirm their suitability during and after remediation.
Post-Remediation Inspections & Certification
Conduct final inspections to verify the structure’s safety after remediation. Certify that the building is safe to use, addressing all structural issues.
Collaboration with Your Team.
Work hand-in-hand with environmental consultants, insurers, and contractors to design and implement effective remediation solutions. Ensure seamless communication and coordination to minimise delays.
Clear Documentation & Reporting.
Provide detailed reports, structural sketches, and actionable recommendations. Keep you informed at every stage, ensuring transparency and compliance.
