Cracked & Displaced Brickwork can be the result of many factors
- Brick creep (Expansion over time, a phenomena in a product which is a natural material
- Movement in expansive & shrinkage in clay substrate to footings through moisture change
- Earthquake. Low levels barely detectable but more common than often thought
- Design & construction defects
But often perceived defects may not be as serious as first thought.
Engineer Donald Thomas provides the answers… in some instances just monitoring the site for 18 months.
Methodology
- Examination of site conditions,
- Assessment of causes,
- Solutions,
- Recommendations for remedial works
- Budget costs
These are tabled in a comprehensive report which is usually completed within 48 hours of briefing.
Repair work can be coordinated by CEBIS and when completed Certified as structurally sound
All of the above is based on a consulting service and CEBIS has no part of the construction works and is independent to the contractor
Typical cracks effectively and efficiently repaired by techniques designed and supervised by CEBIS Engineer Donald Thomas
