A Complete Project Lifecycle Solution

What we do

The Insite Engineering team provide specialised diagnostic and remedial engineering consultancy services for building facades and structures.  Our Civil / Structural Engineers provide valuable input to the complete project life cycle, from conducting initial visual asset inspections, to diagnostic investigation and testing and the preparation of Technical Specifications relied upon by remedial contractors. 

Insite Engineering adopt a pragmatic approach to building diagnostics, with approaches tailored to the issue at hand. 

We are able to assess all forms of structures using industrial rope access and other specialist access techniques, permitting a close-up site-based assessment conducted by professional engineers that eliminates the need to rely on third-party information.

Our specialist services include: 

  • Condition audits and assessments

  • Preparation of Technical Specifications for remedial works

  • On-site verification of compliance with construction documentation 

  • Emergency assessment of risk to public safety 

  • Investigations into existing facade materials and systems, including a wide range of diagnostic test procedures 

  • Assessment of remaining service life 

  • Technical stewardship of live projects and Practical Completion services.

Our Services

  • Investigate

    Our engineers are on site, conducting a range of investigations and inspections, including:

    • Non-destructive routine building inspections & condition assessments.

    • Focused investigations into specific known issues & concerns.

    • Diagnostic testing to isolate deterioration mechanisms.

  • Specify

    Successful remedial projects are built on informed, considered Technical Specifications. Our practical, hands on involvement from the first stage of investigation ensures our Technical Specifications are appropriate for your asset, and provide your contractor with the clear parameters they require.

  • Report

    Communication is key. We tailor our reports to suit our clients needs, from technical data suitable for use by fellow industry professionals to concise interpretative reports providing insight and advice to building owners.

  • Guide

    Our focus on practical involvement in the remedial process includes the provision of technical stewardship for your contractor. Our engineers will attend site at each step along the way, ensuring the best possible outcomes for the protection, maintenance and remediation of your asset.

Our approach is tailored to your requirements.

Overview

Issues arising through sub-par construction practices or longer term deterioration have significant implications on the safety and functionality of buildings and structures.  The cause of the issue and its mechanism/s require experienced and qualified people to pinpoint, particularly where there are several contributing factors. 

Insite Engineering adopt a pragmatic approach to building diagnostics and assess all forms of structures using industrial rope access and other high access techniques, permitting a close-up site-based assessment that provides our clients with a high degree of confidence that their asset is being comprehensively assessed. 

Our team members have a thorough knowledge of all forms of structures and we offer a suite of services that include not only inspection and diagnosis, but also the formulation of repair and maintenance strategies.  We have extensive experience in assisting our clients with formulating repair and maintenance strategies and developing the optimum remedial solution for numerous issues, including: 

  • Spalling and cracking concrete 

  • Detaching render or other applied finishes 

  • Chemical deterioration and degradation of materials 

  • Water penetration through façades and roofs 

  • Rectification of poor construction practices. 

Remedial projects require engineering input to ensure the process complies to technical engineering criteria, and the applicable industry codes and standards.  Insite provide live project stewardship and PC services to ensure this very important process achieves the desired outcome. 

We believe that a comprehensive approach to diagnostic engineering is integral and lies at the core of project success.
