Engineering and technical appraisal of buildings and structures

Technical inspection of buildings and structures to determine the current technical condition of the building and supporting structures, identify any damage, deformation, cracks, find the cause, to determine the damaged buildings, establish the possibility of further operation and determine the appropriate set of measures to ensure the safe operation of the building.

Technical inspection of the building is necessary to determine the life, physical deterioration of the building as a whole, constructions, engineering systems and the possibility of safe operation of buildings and structures; If next to the building under construction (monitoring using beacons and geodetic marks), inspection of buildings in the 30-meter zone of influence of construction; to determine the carrying capacity of individual structures; determining the causes of strain ceilings, walls, columns; the definition of accidents buildings and structures; determining the need for current and overhaul (revealing obvious and hidden defects, deformation and structural damage); survey of the building after the accident, flooding and fire to determine the possibility of further exploitation; determining the causes of accidents; before the transaction of sale to determine the actual technical condition; determining the real value of the building or structure; the resumption of construction in progress (to clarify the technical condition of the unfinished object and determine the feasibility of building); under full or partial loss of technical documentation.

Technical inspection of buildings, structures and building structures is carried out by means of a set of measures, which includes both visual and instrumental research methods require highly skilled specialists and use special diagnostic and measuring equipment. Based on the analysis of data obtained with the technical examination of the object, as well as engineering calculations carried out based on the actual strength of materials, stress, etc. prepared a written opinion (report) about the current technical condition of the building, carrying capacity and the available deformation structures, performance structures with issuing recommendations on measures aimed at increasing the service life of building structures of the building.

Stages of the engineering survey of buildings and structures:

1. Preparation of the technical project.

2. Conclusion of the contract for the technical inspection of the building.

3. Study the available technical documentation, raw data (the construction, service life, the results of previous surveys, etc.).

4. Preliminary inspection of buildings, structures. Conduct a general inspection of the building, a survey of the current state of the structures of the building to determine the composition and amount of work required for a detailed examination.

5. A detailed inspection of buildings and structures: a visual inspection of building structures with photofixing identified defects and damage, as well as places where the autopsy carried out; measuring work; instrumental studies (measurement of deflection, settling of foundations, etc.); Laboratory analysis of samples;

6. Processing of data obtained during the examination and verification calculation of the basic elements of the building with the definition of the actual bearing capacity.

7. Making conclusions of the expert (specialist).

8. Transfer of the customer to sign the act Handover.

The conclusion of the expert on the results of technical examination of the building contains: a description of the object of study, its parts, individual design solutions; statement of work; used list of normative and technical documentation and literature; photographic images of the structural elements identified defects; the results of the engineering technical inspection of building structures (foundations, walls, floors, etc.) with explanations; the results of laboratory tests; graphical part, including dimensioned drawings; calculation part; detailed conclusion about the possibility of further operation, the possibility and feasibility of reconstruction, redevelopment, etc, recommendations for activities to be carried out subsequently. Answers to the questions raised in the specifications; The application documents submitted by the customer; Application documents expert.

The conclusion of the expert is an official document that is legally binding, it could be used in court as documentary evidence. Based on the conclusions of a survey carried out of the building can be sued for unscrupulous contractors who violate legal and technical requirements in the construction and force them to carry out reconstruction and complete overhaul of the building.
