Concrete Inspection, Maintenance & Rehabilitation

Inspection

Regular inspection of concrete structures is an essential component in ensuring the longevity and safety of the structures. ProTech IB can provide scheduled inspection services that will allow you to better manage maintenance costs and extend the life cycle of your concrete assets. Our reports also ensure you are in compliance with new regulatory requirements.

Diagnostic Surveys

Based on the inspection report results a diagnostic campaign may be recommended to detect and analyse conditions which cannot be assessed during a normal inspection. A diagnostic campaign is developed based on information collected during the inspection and tailored to acquire specific data. Methodology, sampling and data collection technology are chosen based on structure type, service environment and conditions. Our priority is to implement a campaign that will minimize costs while ensuring that the data collected will allow a precise diagnostic and an appropriate intervention.

Technical Specifications

Using data collected from the diagnostic campaign ProTech IB can prepare the technical specifications for repair or rehabilitation work to be done. Whether it is simple preventative maintenance or major construction or rehabilitation work, ProTech IB's engineers will design the most cost effective solution to ensure the life span of the works while minimizing costs. These specifications can then be used by the client to go out to tender and analyse bids based on consistent design parameters.

QAQC

QAQC To ensure that work awarded to contractors is performed in accordance with the technical design specifications, ProTech IB can offer quality assurance and control services. Our experienced technicians will monitor on-site work, verify that materials used comply with specifications and when necessary perform in-situ sampling for testing and analysis in our independent laboratories.
