Collect the necessary data needed to assess current conditions of the building envelope from water intrusion through thermal imaging and spray testing. We take into account visible and non-visible conditions through the use of complex scientific technology and rapid subsurface evaluation to better understand the remaining service life.
Determine exterior and interior degradation rates of the building, measure the performance of materials, and evaluate the impact of environmental factors on critical components to estimate service life. We provide optimal preservation strategies and designs as well as assist in the selection of durable materials for new and existing buildings.
Help prioritize maintenance work to reduce costs over time, provide advice on durable material selection and mitigate corrosion and improve overall safety and durability of the building. Echem can help reduce the likelihood of cracking, spalling, displacement, and section losses of critical structural components.
