Investigation
Masonry structures
TRUST US WITH YOUR MASONRY STRUCTURES
The actual condition of a masonry structure is often difficult to assess, particularly when internal defects, construction deficiencies, or deterioration mechanisms are not visible at the surface.
Constru-Care supports you with a comprehensive approach to the investigation and assessment of masonry structures, combining in-situ testing, surveys, targeted sampling, and analyses tailored to the specific deterioration mechanisms and pathologies encountered.
Our experts assess the condition of masonry materials, identify potential defects, and characterise deterioration mechanisms such as cracking, joint degradation, water ingress, deformation, loss of cohesion, and inadequate connections between structural elements.
These investigations provide a clear, reliable, and actionable understanding of the structure, supporting informed decisions regarding maintenance, repair, strengthening, or rehabilitation in a relevant and sustainable manner.

From inspection to action
INSPECTIONS
Visual inspections of all types of masonry structures, including surveys and technical assessments. Inspections can be carried out using drones, rope access techniques, and other specialised access methods.
IN-SITU INVESTIGATION
Investigations on all types of masonry structures and infrastructure, including element extraction, local breakouts, drilling, and other targeted investigations used to assess condition, characterise materials, and understand structural behaviour.
NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
Non-destructive testing of existing masonry structures and infrastructure, including absorption testing, ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys, thermographic analysis, and other advanced inspection techniques used to assess material condition, detect hidden defects, and characterise structural behaviour.
LAB TESTING
Brick sample testing, including compression, flexural, shear, freeze-thaw cycle and water absorption tests, among others.
MONITORING
Accurate monitoring of masonry structures through real-time instrumentation systems or periodic measurements, using gauges, displacement and deformation monitoring devices, stress sensors, humidity probes, temperature sensors, and other monitoring equipment.
ANALYSES
Assessment of the condition of masonry structures, including structural condition evaluations, fire resistance assessments, project feasibility studies, and other engineering analyses to support informed decision-making and asset management.
