Structural Inspection Services
Structural inspection services find potential issues before they become larger problems
Comprehensive Inspection Solutions
At CAN we are provide a wide array of inspection and testing services for your structures to help you understand all you need to effectively manage them. We use our own in-house inspection and dedicated reporting teams and allow you to tailor your inspection and report to your specific needs.
If you aren’t sure exactly what you want, that isn’t a problem, speak to our team and we will help advise you on the best way forward.
What we Inspect
Our inspection teams assess a wide range of structures and infrastructure, including building facades, steelwork, bridges, tunnels, sewers and culverts. We can inspect individual structural elements or carry out wider assessments where the condition of the structure needs to be understood.
Using rope access and other specialist access techniques, our teams can reach difficult areas without relying solely on scaffolding or large access equipment. This allows inspections to be carried out in locations that may otherwise be difficult, disruptive or costly to access.
- Building facades – identifying defects, deterioration and areas requiring further investigation
- Steelwork – assessing condition, corrosion, damage and other defects
- Bridges – inspecting structural elements and difficult-to-access areas
- Tunnels – assessing structural condition and identifying defects
- Sewers and culverts – inspecting confined and difficult-to-access infrastructure
Why carry out Inspections?
Regular structural inspections help establish the condition of a structure and identify issues before they develop into more significant problems. Inspections can help ensure the continued safety and stability of a structure, identify defects and highlight areas that may require repair or maintenance.
Depending on the structure and inspection requirements, our teams can assess visible defects such as cracking, corrosion, deterioration, damage or movement. The findings can then help inform decisions on maintenance, repair or further investigation.
