Forensic Investigation
GPR slab scanning
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-destructive, non-intrusive type of surveying technology that can be used rapidly and efficiently without delaying construction or interfering with other tradespeople onsite. It is the most cost-effective method of subsurface investigation for structural engineering investigation for building in Sydney.
As a replacement for concrete x-ray technology, GPR offers faster results, is safe for use in public spaces, and provides clearer 2D projections than concrete x-ray technology. GPR produces images in real time for the concrete scanner technician to analyse onsite, whereas the x-ray has to be taken away and the data.
With GPR slab scanning we are able to scan and locate reinforcement, post-tensioning or any services which can assist in modification of slabs and structural building inspection in Sydney.

Grouting works
An ungrouted or poorly grouted precast panel, construction joints and post-tensioned tendons will compromise the strength and serviceability of a structure.
Our team at CES offers full forensic investigations to discover any non-compliant grouting and re-grouts the tendons in a variety of ways as part of building forensic investigation and forensic engineering in Sydney.
Grout can be reinstated by hand pumps, powered pumps, or by using a vacuum where access is difficult or restricted.
Tendon Truncations in Concrete Removal
Post-tension truncations are required when voids or penetrations are being cut out of an existing post tension slab.
Truncation techniques allows to incorporate new lifts, stairs, travellators, mechanical penetrations in existing post-tension structure without compromising the structure’s strength.
CES offers a complete design review, investigation and on-site truncation works, guided by a forensic building structural engineer in Sydney.
Corrosion Investigation
Corrosion to an exposed steel member is a common phenomenon. The protective coating on structural steel members exfoliates over time, exposing the steel to moisture and causing it to deteriorate.
At CES we can provide forensic investigation to determine the strength of the structure using Non Destructive Testing (NDT) as part of building structural failure analysis and structural engineering investigation in Sydney.
Dilapidation Report
Dilapidation Report can be on any existing structure to investigate structure’s behaviour and strength.
We at CES, have a team of experts in forensic investigation of structures that can provide engineering guidance and repair solutions through forensic building structural engineer, building structural investigation, and inspection in Sydney.
