Commercial High Rise Examination
Commercial High Rise Examination in Edmonton
Like any other building, your commercial building requires regular examinations to ensure it is up to current safety codes. It’s important that you conduct regular skyscraper examinations. This will help you catch any hazardous conditions that may contribute to the development of dangerous conditions in your building. At AllVert Structural Solutions we are able to provide thorough, reliable commercial high rise examinations.
Why Do I Need a High Rise examination?
Weather in Edmonton can be severe. This extreme weather can cause damage to the exterior of commercial buildings. A commercial building examination can catch building damages before they become serious structural issues.
The exterior envelope of your building – including the windows, siding, and roof – needs to be regularly examined. You need to know that your building is free of any expensive surprises. Property condition assessment reports give you a detailed picture of the state of your building and any potential issues. An examination report from an engineer can help increase the life-span and value of your commercial building.
A Commercial Examination Includes:
Commercial examinations can include, but are not limited to, examinations for your:
Roof
Roofs are examined to detect any leaks or potential leaks, and to remove any birds’ nests or roosting places.
Roof Elements
Roof elements include chimneys, vents, cornices, ornamental elements, or gutters. All of these should be properly flashed to avoid leaks. Gutters are also examined so to ensure they are free of debris.
Fenestration
This is anything that adds to the architecture of the building (for example doors, windows, vents, or skylights). These elements are all examined for proper weather stripping.
Exterior Wall Material
A proper facade examination looks at the masonry or siding on the building. The paint or other finishes on the building facade should be checked for signs of wear from weather.
Exterior Ceilings and Decks
Both ceilings and decks are examined for signs of insects or rot to see if an exterminator is needed.
Safe, In-Depth Examinations of Your Building
Industrial rope access offers safe, thorough commercial facade examination reports at heights where access is difficult. Most commercial building examiners do not use industrial rope access for commercial building examination. They use methods such as snooper trucks or drones which are more expensive for the building owner. Additionally, these methods do not allow for a comprehensive look at the building facade.
AllVert Structural Solutions provides a much more in-depth commercial examination than our competitors. Using rope access, our experts can go where others can’t. They get up close to your building, providing better detail for building reports. This provides both time and cost benefits. Because there is no noisy equipment there is less disruption to the building’s occupants. There is also greater detail in the examination report which allows for a more specific repair plan. They can use this access to provide an office building examination that includes live video feeds, detailed reports, and documentation.
