Building Assessment - Our Approach

We assess existing building conditions visually, with non-destructive test methods, probe openings and provide semi-destructive testing when necessary. 

Though our aim and philosophy is to retain as much of the original material as possible it is our belief that if one does not observe the underlying conditions first hand, then serious conditions could go unnoticed which could result in future failure.

For steel frame or concrete buildings, where the structural or reinforcing steel is embedded in masonry, we take a unique assessment approach from our experience in the corrosion industry.

With our non-destructive testing, we can assess current conditions for target areas or test entire facades.  We can determine Corrosion condition and risk, location of ferrous metals, areas of water infiltration or high moisture, and voids between the steel frame and the masonry façade.

We can provide long-term temperature, humidity, and corrosion rate monitoring should a client want to thoroughly assess a building prior to making final repair decisions.

Inspections

EChem Consultants, LLC offers general condition assessements and corrosion investigations for historic buildings.  In depth corrosion analyses can allow the building owner/ engineer to understand the current condition of the steel without removing large amounts of masonry cladding.  A detailed study of conditions related to corrosion and those which accelerate corrosion are identified, as well as the actual amount of corrosion occuring on the building.  From this, EChem Consultants provides a corrosion risk analysis which can help identify repair strategies and long term corrosion management plans.
