We understand that the condition of your buildings is important to you.

Our experts can support you throughout the life of your structures. Materials appraisal is used to evaluate the state of health and conservation of your structures in terms of their aging, changes in their defects, and operational contingencies (fires, mechanical deficiencies of materials, etc.).

Once the durability of materials and residual lifespan of your structures is assessed, we offer solutions to ensure the sustainability of your buildings is in line with your sustainable development concerns.

If you need to improve the protection of your property portfolio, increase your operations, and address climatic uncertainty – our experts are ready to support you in making your infrastructure more resilient.

  • Quality control of the materials in place
  • Testing and diagnostics of structural defects
  • Control and monitoring of protection and reinforcement systems
  • Assessment of durability indicators and lifespan indicators
  • Modeling of the residual lifespan of materials and infrastructure
  • Calculation of reinforcement dimensioning and cathodic protection design
  • Definition of repair treatments for your structures and materials
