Masonry & Historic facades
Assessment and testing of wall constructions and facades is essential for a meaningful mechanical, physical and chemical evaluation of the as-is condition of existing masonry structures.
Salt contamination and moisture penetration are the most common root causes of damage to porous, mineral building materials such as masonry. A detailed survey of the as-is condition is the most important prerequisite for planning maintenance and repairs for modern and historic buildings.
We offer
- Testing and evaluation of moisture and building-damaging salts in masonry and plaster mortar
- Determination of the masonry and component strength both on taking drill cores and by means of rebound hammer
- Monitoring the effectiveness of remediation measures
- Organolpetical assessment, testing and evaluation of historical and modern facades
More information about Masonry & historic facades is available on request.
