Project Management of Reinstatement and Repairs
Some investigations can develop into the assessment of severe, long term and active fungal infestations, where safety concerns make it absolutely necessary to further investigate the integrity of structural timber components.
Carried Out Sensitively
In the past, it has often been under those conditions that historically valuable materials have been damaged or lost in the panic to quickly assess the extent of the decay.
When we are faced with this scenario and after consultation with the relevant conservation authorities, the client has the option of entrusting us to manage the sensitive exposure work that is deemed necessary to assess the extent of the decay.
We can also manage the reinstatement works if necessary.
This approach has proved to be extremely beneficial to clients and has resulted in a faster conclusion to investigative works.
Project management of defective timber tie-beam, Ascot Rail Station
Client: Frankham Consultancy Group, Osborne Construction.
This repair had to be completed during the overnight possession of the rail station.
Having undertaken the original assessment, we were then on-site throughout the repair, supervising and advising as necessary on the installation of the glue-laminated timber splice.
