Heritage structures

Heritage structures

EXPERTISE DEDICATED TO YOUR HERITAGE BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES

The actual condition of a heritage structure is often difficult to assess due to its complex structural configuration and when defects, structural weaknesses, or deterioration mechanisms are not visible at the surface.

Constru-Care supports you with a comprehensive approach to the inspection, investigation, and diagnosis of heritage structures, tailored to the specific requirements of these assets and applicable to all construction materials, including concrete, steel, masonry, timber, natural stone, and mixed structural systems.

Our experts assess the condition of the structure, identify potential defects, and characterise deterioration mechanisms such as cracking, moisture ingress, and deformation.

These investigations provide a clear, reliable and actionable understanding of the heritage structure, enabling informed and sustainable decisions regarding maintenance, repair, strengthening and rehabilitation.

From inspection to action

From inspection to action

INSPECTIONS

Visual inspections, surveys, and technical assessments. Drone inspections, rope access inspections, underwater inspections (Divers and ROV's), and endoscopic camera investigations.

IN-SITU INVESTIGATION

Targeted in-situ investigations on all types of materials, including core extraction, concrete breakouts, drilling, pull-off testing, resistography, reinforcement bar sampling, and steel structure material sampling.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

Non-destructive testing on existing heritage structures and works: concrete scanning, ground-penetrating radar testing, ultrasonic testing, rebound hammer measurements, corrosion potential assessment, and permeability testing.

LAB TESTING

Laboratory testing on all types of materials: compression and tensile tests, carbonation testing, chloride ion content determination, absorption tests, freeze–thaw resistance, petrographic examinations, and more.

MONITORING

Accurate monitoring of your heritage structure and buildings through real-time instrumentation systems or periodic measurements, including monitoring markers, displacement monitoring systems, deformation and stress monitoring, humidity measurement, temperature monitoring, and more.

ANALYSES

Analysis of the structure, including structural condition evaluations, fire resistance assessments, project feasibility studies, and other engineering analyses to support informed decision-making and long-term asset management
