What you receive

  • Annotated defect atlas
  • Visible/thermal evidence where appropriate
  • Measured geometry/model as scoped
  • Engineer-review inputs and coverage/limitations report
How we deliver

Scope & options

Defect atlases geolocate visible cracking, spalling, staining or envelope anomalies against identifiable structural locations.

Thermal patterns can indicate investigation areas but do not, by themselves, establish the cause of leakage or structural distress.

Engineering condition assessment may add NDT, access, load information and professional interpretation.

Explore 5 service variants

Bridge external and underside inspection

Record accessible bridge elements and visible deterioration.

Structural fitness and load rating require separate qualified assessment.

Façade, roof and building-envelope inspection

Document visible defects and suitable thermal/moisture indications.

Thermal patterns do not establish the cause of every leak.

Targeted structural NDT coordination

Arrange appropriate specialist tests for engineering questions.

Test methods and sign-off require separately verified competent partners.

Drone-assisted façade cleaning

Clean suitable elevated surfaces using a purpose-built system.

Cleaning can be added as a separate method with its own equipment, exclusion zone, runoff controls and surface-compatibility checks.

Submerged structural inspection

Use ROV or sonar for accessible underwater elements.

Refer to the marine inspection scope and owner/engineer acceptance.

Useful to know

Terms, explained
Defect atlas
Location-linked images and annotations describing observed condition.
Building envelope
Roof, façade and interfaces that protect the building from weather and moisture.
Engineering review
Qualified interpretation that converts observations into repair or investigation priorities.
Will this certify that the building or bridge is safe?

Imagery is one input; the relevant qualified professional and supporting investigation determine the conclusion. Structural conclusions, load ratings and statutory certificates require the appropriate qualified professional and supporting investigation.

Can thermal inspection identify the exact cause of leakage?

The need depends on the observed condition and agreed investigation method. Thermal indications help target investigation; moisture testing, opening-up or other checks may be needed.

Does the work require scaffolding or public exclusion?

The method and location determine access and protection measures. A drone does not remove all public-safety or access requirements.

Is façade cleaning part of an inspection?

It is an optional separately vetted service with material, pressure, runoff and operating controls.

Method & limitations

Map visible defects to identifiable structural locations.

Separate visual/thermal screening from NDT, load rating and structural certification.

Define public protection, access and the engineer responsible for interpretation.

Structural fitness and load rating require separate qualified assessment.

Thermal patterns do not establish the cause of every leak.

Test methods and sign-off require separately verified competent partners.

Cleaning can be added as a separate method with its own equipment, exclusion zone, runoff controls and surface-compatibility checks.

Help me ask
  • Do I need defect documentation or an engineer’s structural assessment?
  • Which areas need close-up NDT after visual screening?
  • How will inspection coverage and access limitations be reported?
Use ordinary words. A short problem description is enough. Do not include confidential or security-sensitive information.
Start with state and district/city. Exact boundaries can be provided later through an agreed channel.Leave blank if unknown.
An estimate is acceptable. Leave unknown rather than inventing a measurement.Leave blank if unknown.

Personal addresses are accepted for civilian enquiries and individual training.
More project detail Optional
State only a non-sensitive reference. A submitted standard is a requirement to review, not a claim of accreditation.
Examples: ground-only work, no cloud hosting, limited access. Do not include personal IDs, confidential documents or sensitive locations.
Which outputs do you need?
Optional: choose outputs within the approved scope, or leave undecided. This is a request, not automatic inclusion.
