Forensic Problem Diagnosis

Forensic Problem Diagnosis

We are often employed by Developers, Funds and End Users to diagnose issues with existing floors. Whether it be excessive floor cracking, deterioration of joints or surface regularity issues, we aim to diagnose and report on the possible causes and make recommendations regarding further investigations or remedial works.

Specification Writing

Specification Writing

Many Base Specifications do not fully consider the slab as an integral part of the overall operation / performance of the facility. A weak floor specification can lead to a multitude of issues, which can impact over the life of the slab. Working with key stakeholders, Face Consultants can review and critique existing Base Specifications or write new specifications with a focus on good practice in regards, design, construction, and material and product performance requirements.

Delamination Surveys

Delamination Surveys

Where a slab is suffering from suspected delamination, Face Consultants can carry out non-intrusive chain surveys to identify areas affected. Depending on the results, further investigations can be carried out to confirm if there is an issue. Following on from this, advice can be offered regarding the best remedial solution.
