Dilapidations and Thermography

Dilapidations Project using Thermography

An existing long-term client to RWS Ltd reported issues with a building which was not water tight. Several repairs by facilities management had been undertaken to the property but had failed to find a solution, RWS suggested employing an infrared thermographic survey to try to ascertain issues which remained undiscovered during previous works or surveys.

One of our fully qualified ITC Thermographers visited site and began investigations into the building fabric. Internal and external surveys were completed as well as a report scoping the dilapidations of the property.

The report showed evidence that the flat roof and rainwater goods were failing, causing an ingress of water which tracked down the walls internally into the sales area. This ingress occurred  over all 4 stories and our survey revealed the amount of damage to each individual area.

After discussions with the client it was recommended and agreed that we strip back the existing finishes inside the building and allow it to dry to a sufficient level. Thereafter new finishes could be installed throughout and the building updated to a level appropriate for use by staff.

Summary:

The entire job was completed within 3 weeks.  This was a standard dilapidations project for RWS. Using the thermal infa red technology allowed us to demonstrate to our client what areas were affected and why.

This infa red survey technology also saved labour on site by identifying critical areas first via its non-intrusive methods. It also reduced the amount of works required on stripping back surfaces for investigation.

If you are interested in the use of thermography for dilapidations please contact us. We are always happy to help.
