Visual inspection survey is used for mapping defects in concrete structures and buildings, as well as retaining walls.

A defect mapping survey (also known as visual inspection or condition survey) is a comprehensive visual inspection process aimed at identifying and documenting various types of defects in structures, retaining walls, and concrete installations. Utilizing advanced inspection tools, our experts meticulously assess the condition of the structure, identifying issues such as cracks, spalling, efflorescence, corrosion, and more. The findings of visual survey are systematically recorded and mapped, providing a clear visual representation of the defects, their locations, and their severity. This detailed mapping of defects is crucial for understanding the structural integrity and prioritizing necessary repairs or maintenance.

The visual inspection survey culminates in a thorough report that highlights all identified defects. This report serves as a vital resource for property owners, engineers, and maintenance teams, guiding them in making informed decisions to ensure the safety, durability, and longevity of the structure. By conducting a defect mapping survey, you gain valuable insights into the health of your concrete and masonry installations, enabling proactive maintenance and preventing costly future damages.
