Natural stone structures investigation
TRUST US WITH YOUR STONE STRUCTURES
In many cases, the actual condition of natural stone structures is difficult to assess, particularly when internal deterioration, connection defects, or degradation mechanisms are not visible at the surface.
Constru-Care supports you with a comprehensive approach to the investigation and assessment of stont 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 the stonework, identify potential defects, and characterise deterioration mechanisms such as cracking, material loss, joint deterioration, water ingress, deformation, delamination, and loss of cohesion.
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 stone 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 stone structures and infrastructure, including sample extraction, drilling and other targeted surveys.
NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
Non-destructive testing of existing natural stone structures and assets, including water absorption testing, ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys, material characterisation, and other investigation techniques used to assess structural condition and material properties without causing damage.
LAB TESTING
Testing of stone samples, including compression and shear tests, freeze-thaw cycle testing, material characterisation, and other laboratory analyses used to assess the mechanical properties, durability, and condition of the material.
MONITORING
Accurate monitoring of stone 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 stone structures, including structural condition evaluations, fire resistance assessments, project feasibility studies, and other engineering analyses to support informed decision-making and asset management.
