Description
As buildings age, those responsible for their upkeep must conduct thorough condition surveys. These surveys are crucial for evaluating materials, conducting both destructive and non-destructive tests, interpreting results, and determining necessary actions for structural rehabilitation. Participating in this course will teach you step-by-step procedures for conducting comprehensive condition surveys of concrete, steel, timber, masonry structures, HVAC systems, mould, plumbing, electrical, and fire safety systems.

Understanding the strengths and limitations of various destructive and non-destructive testing techniques is essential for accurate assessments. This course covers the specific applications and suitability of these techniques for different structural elements, helping you choose the best approach. You will gain insights into interpreting building system results and assessing the overall condition and longevity of buildings. Condition surveys of each building element will be presented, and participants will engage in discussions to develop checklists for inspections and assessments.

This knowledge is vital for building maintenance, as it helps ensure the safety and durability of structures. By the end of this course, you will be equipped with the skills to conduct thorough and accurate condition surveys, ultimately contributing to the efficient management and preservation of buildings.
