Tactile & Intrusive Inspections
N-Line Structural provides tactile and intrusive structural inspection services across Worcester and throughout the UK, providing detailed information about accessible and concealed elements of existing structures.
Where non-destructive investigation alone cannot provide sufficient information, targeted intrusive inspection can be used to expose and examine construction materials, reinforcement and structural elements.
What Can We Investigate?
Our tactile and intrusive inspections can include:
- Visual and tactile inspection of structural elements
- Concrete breakouts
- Reinforcement exposure
- Investigation of concrete cover
- Examination of structural connections
- Localised opening-up works
- Investigation of suspected defects
- Inspection of concealed construction
- Targeted material sampling
- Post-investigation reinstatement
Targeted Investigation
Intrusive investigations are carefully targeted to obtain the required information while minimising unnecessary damage to the structure.
Where appropriate, GPR and reinforcement detection can be carried out before intrusive works to help identify reinforcement, embedded services and other concealed features.
Supporting Structural Assessments
Our inspection findings can provide valuable information for engineers undertaking structural assessments, refurbishment projects, alterations and remedial works.
We provide clear site observations and photographic information to help document the condition and construction of the areas investigated.
Survey Reporting
Following an investigation, findings can be compiled into a clear professional survey report, including observations, photographs, measurements and relevant test or investigation results.
