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.
NOTRE EXPERTISE AU SERVICE DE VOS OUVRAGES PATRIMO-NIAUX
Dans de nombreux cas, l’état réel d’un ouvrage patrimonial reste difficile à évaluer, de par sa structure exigeante et lorsque les désordres, les faiblesses structurales ou les mécanismes de dégradation ne sont pas visibles en surface.

INSPECTIONS
Visual inspections, local or detailed assessments, surveys, and technical audits of all types of heritage structures, regardless of the construction materials involved. Inspections can be carried out using drones, rope access techniques, confined-space access, underwater inspections, and other specialised investigation methods.
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
Advanced non-destructive testing of heritage buildings and structures, including concrete scanning, radar surveys, ultrasonic testing, rebound hammer testing, corrosion potential measurements, permeability testing, and other diagnostic techniques used to characterise materials, investigate deterioration mechanisms, and assess structural performance.
LAB TESTING
Testing on all types of materials is carried out by certified laboratories in accordance with applicable standards. Available tests include compression, tensile strength, carbonation, chloride ion content determination, absorption, freeze-thaw resistance, petrographic examinations, and many other specialised analyses.
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.
ANALYSIS
Assessment of the condition of heritage structures, including structural condition evaluations, fire resistance assessments, project feasibility studies, and other engineering analyses to support informed decision-making and asset management.
