Structural Inspections
Structural Inspections
LEC offers structural engineering services for inspection of existing structures.
Non-destructive testing, in some cases, can provide the information necessary to
evaluate the condition of existing structural elements. Structural assessments will
reveal damage caused by a variety of factors, including high winds,
flood waters, ground settlement, insects, and other causes. Structures which are
sound can be issued a structural engineers certificate, which is often required for
builders risk insurance.
An inspection may be needed or required after the structure experiences:
- Hurricane Force Wind
- Storm Surge
- Tornado
- Fire
- Extensive Termite Damage
- Settlement
A structural inspection is often the first step to designing a renovation or repair.
We have extensive experience with Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) and can provide third party
inspections of FRP that is installed by a contractor.
