Timber structures investigations
TRUST US WITH YOUR TIMBER STRUCTURES
In many cases, the actual condition of a timber structure is difficult to assess, particularly when internal deterioration, weakened areas, or degradation mechanisms are not visible at the surface.
Constru-Care supports you with a comprehensive approach to the investigation and assessment of timber 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 timber structures, identify potential defects, and characterise deterioration mechanisms such as biological attack, section loss, moisture-related damage, cracking, deformation, and connection defects.
These investigations provide a clear, reliable and actionable understanding of the structure, enabling informed and sustainable decisions regarding maintenance, repair, strengthening and rehabilitation.

From inspection to action
INSPECTIONS
Visual inspections of all types of timber structures, including technical surveys and condition assessments. Inspections can be carried out using drones, rope access techniques, and other specialised access methods.
IN-SITU INVESTIGATION
Investigations on all types of timber structures and infrastructure, including sample extraction, drilling and other targeted surveys.
NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
Non-destructive testing of existing timber structures, including resistography testing, and other advanced inspection techniques used to assess material condition, detect hidden defects, and evaluate structural performance.
LAB TESTING
Testing of timber samples, including compression and bending tests, fungal testing, and other analyses to characterise the mechanical properties and condition of the material.
MONITORING
Accurate monitoring of timber 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 timber structures, including structural condition evaluations, fire resistance assessments, project feasibility studies, and other engineering analyses to support informed decision-making and asset management.
