Intrusive Structural Investigations
Join Firntec’s Intrusive Structural Investigations program, this CPD on structural surveys provides a detailed overview of the components involved in a thorough structural analysis. Participants will explore the various stages of conducting a survey, including preparation, on-site inspections, and report generation, while understanding the best timing for each stage.
The programme will also clarify the limitations of structural site surveys, outlining what they do not cover. To reinforce learning, we will include relevant case studies and real-world examples that highlight the importance of effective structural surveys in maintaining building safety and integrity.
