Aerial
Drone building inspections
Roof, facade and high-level inspection flown by licensed drone pilots. High-resolution imagery of the parts of a building nobody can safely reach, without scaffolding or access equipment.
Inspection & testing
Inspection and testing that proves what holds.
Where surveying records what is there, inspection and testing verifies performance. We inspect the structures nobody can safely reach and load-test the ground, anchors and fixings your design depends on, to the British Standard the result will be judged against. Booked at short notice, with certificates issued days after the test, not weeks.
BS 1377
Plate bearing testing
In-situ tests to BS 1377 Part 9 that measure whether ground or a piling platform will safely carry its load, including working platform verification to BR 470.
BS 8539
Anchor & tie pull testing
Proof and allowable-load testing of post-installed anchors, fixings and ties to BS 8539, with pass/fail data and certification for sign-off.
Why it matters
Testing is where assumptions end. A working platform that has not been proof-tested is an assumption about plant stability. An anchor that has not been pull-tested is an assumption about the fixing holding. Our tests replace those assumptions with measured results: recorded loads, pass/fail criteria and certification you can put in front of a temporary works coordinator, principal contractor or building control.
Because we also run the scanning and survey side, testing slots into the same accountable process, one team from point cloud to pull test. If you are not sure which test your job calls for, read our guides on anchor pull tests, plate bearing tests and drone inspections vs scaffold access, or just send us the brief. Not sure whether your job needs plate bearing, anchor testing or both? Ask, and a specialist will advise before anything is priced.
