Residential and Commercial Construction

Residential buildings, office buildings, industrial halls, or public facilities – every structure must remain safe and stable for years. Challenges such as unpredictable soil conditions, building settlement, vibration impacts, or varying loads require advanced analysis and monitoring methods. With our services, such as pile load testing, structural monitoring, and vibration impact analysis, investors can make informed decisions, while designers and contractors can optimize structural solutions, reduce costs, and extend the lifespan of buildings.

We Understand the Challenges in the Industry

Risk of Delays and Unpredictable Soil Conditions

Pile driveability analysis and load-bearing capacity tests allow for early identification of foundation challenges and selecting the appropriate construction techniques.

Unjustified Claims from Owners of Adjacent Buildings

Photographic documentation and technical condition assessments before construction provide evidence in case of potential claims.

Settlement and Uneven Building Movements

Inclinometer measurements and settlement monitoring enable continuous stability control and quick response to unwanted changes.

Impact of Vibrations on Structures and Surroundings

Continuous vibration monitoring with warning alerts allows for adapting construction techniques and minimizing negative effects.

Challenges in Assessing the Structural Condition During Operation

Structural monitoring systems with deformation and stress sensors provide real-time data on the condition of the building.

Repair Costs Due to Construction Errors

Strain gauge testing and load tests allow for early detection of overloading and improper structural behavior, preventing serious failures and optimizing maintenance.

Services That Minimize Risk and Optimize Processes

Landslide Monitoring

Inclinometer measurements, a key method for landslide monitoring, detect ground displacements early to manage terrain instability risks. They can be continuous (IPI system) or periodic, enabling proactive risk management and protective planning for infrastructure and the environment.

Measurement and monitoring of noise

Noise monitoring is used to measure, analyze, and assess sound levels in the environment.

Measurement and monitoring of vibrations

Vibration measurements are conducted to assess vibration impacts and compare them with relevant threshold values. The results are documented in a report for quality assurance and site optimization, with preliminary findings available immediately and a final report provided upon completion.

Photo documentation of buildings and roads

Before starting construction projects that may cause vibrations, it is often required to inspect affected buildings for existing cracks and minor or major damages.

Pile integrity testing

The PIT method is a simple and cost-effective technique for assessing the quality of cast-in-situ piles, while also being applicable to driven piles, provided the pile material is elastic.

Static load tests

Static pile load testing is a traditional method for assessing load-bearing capacity, where the pile is subjected to pressure or tension using hydraulic jacks, steel beams, and anchor piles to determine its strength.

Measurement of crack width

Buildings experience loads during use, leading to cracks that vary in form and severity depending on external conditions, structure type, age, and usage. Common causes include uneven settlement, nearby construction work, or improper renovation.

Drivability

By incorporating data on the pile type and dimensions, as well as external factors such as soil conditions and hammer type, pile driving can be simulated, allowing for an estimation of pile driveability and an informed evaluation of hammer selection before driving.

Dynamic load tests

This method is suitable for piles in various ground conditions, regardless of load transfer mechanism or material, covering both driven and bored piles.

Structural monitoring

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) uses sensors to continuously or periodically assess a structure’s condition, detecting potential issues early to ensure safety, longevity, and timely maintenance.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

How can I monitor the impact of construction work on adjacent buildings?

Before starting construction, we conduct an assessment of existing building conditions. Additionally, real-time vibration monitoring ensures continuous control over potential structural impacts and provides objective data in case of claims.

How can I ensure that foundations and structures remain stable over time?

We perform pile load testing and settlement monitoring to evaluate foundation suitability. Additionally, structural monitoring enables long-term control over a building’s stability and allows early detection of unwanted displacements.

How can I minimize the effects of vibrations caused by heavy machinery on-site?

With continuous vibration monitoring, we can track vibration levels and issue warnings if thresholds are exceeded. Our analysis helps optimize construction techniques and limit the impact on nearby buildings.

How can I effectively monitor a building’s condition during its lifetime to detect potential risks early?

We install structural monitoring systems that track stress, displacements, and other critical parameters in real-time, helping to prevent costly repairs.

Our Support Doesn’t End When Construction is Completed

Our role doesn’t end with project completion – we also support you in long-term structural monitoring and maintenance. With advanced measurement systems, we help detect potential risks and optimize operational costs. With us, you can be sure your investment remains safe and durable for years.
