Remedial
There comes a time in a buildings life cycle where remedial works are required to maintain the integrity and intended performance of the original structure. At RIDE Consultants we provide site specific remedial specifications to ensure any necessary building repairs are carried out effectively and in accordance with relevant Australian Standards and regulations. Our team of qualified engineers can support our Clients from the initial diagnostic stage to Practical Completion of remedial works, as well as every step in between.
Inspection
We offer a wide range of inspection services including comprehensive façade inspections, work-in-progress inspections, waterproofing application inspections, glazing surveys, and cladding assessments, which provide a full insight into buildings’ and structures’ existing conditions. Our inspections compare the as-built condition of the building against relevant Australian Standards and regulations. Following an inspection by one of our engineers, a tailored report will be developed providing detailed insights of the required information as per our scope of engagement. Our specialised engineers utilise rope access (abseiling) techniques for difficult access situations.
Diagnostics
Identifying the cause of failure in buildings and structures is the first step in the remedial process and helps to ensure costly and timely band-aid solutions are avoided. Our engineers specialise in the pathology of building defects by understanding the philosophy of different types of facades. Our diagnostic capabilities include:
Water ingress diagnostics (conducting hose testing in accordance with AAMA 501 or CWCT TN41) ,
Cladding combustibility testing
Concrete testing
Dry film thickness testing of membrane and coatings
Glazing testing (post-breakage failure assessment, pillowing and dishing identification, glass build-up identification, insulated glazing unit defect inspections)
Engineering
Following the inspection and diagnostic process, our engineers will develop engineered solutions in accordance with relevant standards and regulations that match the specific needs of your building to ensure the longevity and safety of its features going forward.
Our team guides our Clients (and relevant stakeholders) through the engineering process to ensure a considered solution from all perspectives is developed.
