Whether you need to investigate a sulphate attack or perform a Flood Risk Assessment, the services of
a civil engineering and structural engineering firm are invaluable.
Assistance
from Qualified Professionals
With the help of a flood risk team, you can check if
your planned development project is within a flood zone and whether you need to
submit a Flood Risk Assessment with your planning application. Flood risk
assessments contain in-depth information about previous flood events in the
area and identify the potential risks from various sources such as rainfall,
rivers and sea. Once you give site development plans to a civil engineering and
structural engineering firm, they will assess the exact requirements of your
local planning authority and applicable governing body. Based on the
requirements, they will advise on design aspects to mitigate flood risk so that
you are in a stronger position to get your plan approved.
Thorough
Investigations and Remedial Solutions
Sulphate
attack is widely recognised as being the culprit behind
concrete deterioration in different types of structures. A sulphate attack can
cause serious damage to concrete, weakening the entire structure and
compromising its safety. Crumbling concrete, cracks on concrete floor slabs,
stress fractures and discolouration are all signs of potential sulphate attack. It’s best to seek expert advice if you
suspect a sulphate attack. A thorough investigation requires several different
inputs such as the opinion of a qualified structural engineer, findings of site
investigation and results of laboratory tests. For investigations, concrete
samples are analysed to determine chloride, cement and sulphate content. Along
with diagnosing a sulphate attack, a civil engineering team can also offer
remedial solutions to repair the damaged structure.
When you need solutions for sensitive aspects of
construction projects, don’t put your faith in non-professionals. Partner a
reputed firm having a multi-disciplinary team of structural engineers, civil engineers and engineers belonging to
allied disciplines.
