Engineering
At Nexus, our engineers are highly experienced at analysing damage to entire structures including roofs, foundations, exterior walls and other components as a result of severe storms, floods, hail and other natural disasters.
From understanding soil conditions to analysing construction errors and analysing weather-related issues, all potentially contributing factors are considered.
Regardless of the cause, it’s important to engage a qualified civil and/or structural forensic engineer to determine the extent of the property damage and the best course of action, through:
- Forensic analysis of failed components
- Defective construction investigations
- Flood, fire and storm impacted assessments
- Subsidence evaluations and investigations
- Failed retaining wall investigations and redesign
- Swimming pool defects
- Digital Level surveys
- Structural, Civil and geotechnical investigation
- Concrete reinforcing identification
Building materials and components respond to weather and outside influences differently throughout their life. By engaging a qualified engineer before there’s a problem, you can:
- Improve maintenance outcomes
- Increase durability
- Reduce the risk of structural and non-structural failures
- Ensure your building meets energy and heating goals
