Newman Building Solutions – Case Studies relating to surveys.

Drainage Surveys

Newman’s are now undertaking CCTV drainage surveys for all of our clients to benefit our range of services specifically linked with the repair of buildings.

We carry out subsidence investigations and repairs and as a part of this package we inspect drainage systems for fractures and failures which may be the cause of movement to a building.

Our technicians are able to carry out a detailed survey using the latest CCTV technology which also records the entire inspection. We will then provide a report identifying the design and construction of the drainage and also any defects and the appropriate most cost effective solution for repair.

Soil investigation underway in Oxford: works began on three soil investigations to determine the soil type and condition so that suitable piling schemes can be designed for to a number of properties for one of our social housing clients due to the cracking indicating subsidence. Our investigations include camera drainage tests to ensure the drains are in good condition and working correctly, sampling of the soil in a laboratory and recorded soil conditions down to 4.5m’s.

One of our first survey’s of the week to this listed property in the high street of Maidenhead, Windsor.

The brick tower is suffering from lintel failure and the flank elevation has bowed and cracked due to lateral movement following the demolition of the neighboring building.

Lintel Failure

The brick lintels will be reinforced using Twistfix helical bars and Twistfix 450mm CD dryfix pinning ties, the lateral movement will be stabilised using Twistfix lateral restraint ties install in to the existing parallel floor joists along the flank elevation.
