Inspection & testing

Inspection and testing that proves what holds.

Where surveying records what is there, inspection and testing verifies performance. We inspect the structures nobody can safely reach and load-test the ground, anchors and fixings your design depends on, to the British Standard the result will be judged against.

Drone building inspections

Roof, facade and high-level inspection flown by licensed drone pilots. High-resolution imagery of the parts of a building nobody can safely reach, without scaffolding or access equipment.

Plate bearing testing

In-situ tests to BS 1377 Part 9 that measure whether ground or a piling platform will safely carry its load, including working platform verification to BR 470.

Why it matters

Testing is where assumptions end. A working platform that has not been proof-tested is an assumption about plant stability. An anchor that has not been pull-tested is an assumption about the fixing holding. Our tests replace those assumptions with measured results: recorded loads, pass/fail criteria and certification you can put in front of a temporary works coordinator, principal contractor or building control.

Because we also run the scanning and survey side, testing slots into the same accountable process, one team from point cloud to pull test. If you are not sure which test your job calls for, read our guides on anchor pull tests, plate bearing tests and drone inspections vs scaffold access, or just send us the brief.
