Building and Infrastructure
Buildings and infrastructure must be safe for decades, and mistakes are expensive to correct once concrete has set. We test construction materials, inspect works as they progress, verify that installed systems perform as designed and certify the products and contractors involved. Owners, contractors, lenders and regulators use our reports to make decisions with confidence.
Across the project lifecycle
At design and procurement stage we test and certify materials such as concrete, steel, aggregates, asphalt and insulation. During construction our inspectors check workmanship, welding, coatings and installation against drawings and specifications, and our laboratories test samples taken from site.
Before handover we witness commissioning of building services, fire safety systems and lifts. Once in service we inspect structures, lifting equipment and pressure systems on statutory and voluntary schedules.
- Construction materials testing, on site and in the laboratory
- Welding, coating and non-destructive testing inspection
- Geotechnical investigation and foundation testing
- Witnessing of commissioning and performance testing
- In-service inspection of structures, lifts and pressure systems
- Product certification for construction products
Assurance for owners and lenders
Independent technical monitoring gives owners, investors and lenders a clear view of progress, quality and risk without relying solely on the contractor. We report at agreed milestones and flag issues early, when they are still cheap to fix.
