Structural Investigation

The Materials Testing Division of ESG provides independent structural condition surveys, non-destructive investigations, laboratory testing & structural monitoring throughout the UK. Our experienced teams support architects, engineers, property owners and contractors and are qualified to work ‘at height’, within confined spaces, over water and on the rail/highway infrastructure.

With over 30 years experience we are able to effectively establish the condition, construction detail and physical/chemical properties of a structure/element and provide factual, interpretative or forensic reports.

ESG understands that the design/approach of a survey or investigation will depend on the type of the structure, the construction material and the reason for the assessment, e.g. demolition, refurbishment or repair. Our teams assess bridges, tunnels, high-rise buildings & marine structures, whether they are constructed of timber, metal, concrete and/or masonry.
