In social housing, ensuring resident safety and maintaining property integrity is paramount. For housing providers, proactive maintenance is key—not only to meet safety standards but to reduce costly repairs and ensure the longevity of their housing stock. At PM+, we understand these challenges and are proud to offer our Advanced Concrete Defect Detection services, specifically designed for social housing providers to help them manage their assets responsibly and sustainably.
Why Concrete Defect Detection Matters in Social Housing
Concrete is a durable material, but it’s not immune to damage over time. Factors such as exposure to moisture, environmental pollutants, and natural wear can cause degradation. For social housing providers, this can result in structural issues, safety hazards, and an increased need for maintenance. By identifying defects early, housing providers can mitigate these risks, make informed decisions about repairs, and avoid expensive emergency fixes.
With our Advanced Concrete Defect Detection services, PM+ offers a thorough, reliable, and efficient approach to assessing concrete structures. We help social housing providers not only understand the condition of their properties but plan effective, budget-friendly repairs.
Our Approach: Combining Technology with Expertise
PM+’s concrete defect detection services go beyond surface-level assessments. We leverage state-of-the-art technology and proven inspection techniques to provide a holistic view of your properties’ condition. Here’s what makes our approach unique:
1. 3D Imaging for Visual Clarity
Our inspections use 3D imaging to provide an unparalleled view of the structure. This technology allows housing providers to see the specific areas needing attention, making complex data accessible and easy to interpret.
2. Traffic Light Index for Risk Assessment
We offer a straightforward Traffic Light Index, where risks are clearly prioritised—urgent issues are flagged in red, moderate ones in amber, and minor concerns in green. This enables clients to immediately understand which repairs are critical, which can wait, and how to allocate their budget effectively.
3. Comprehensive Condition Evaluation
Our assessments are thorough, covering everything from carbonation depth measurements and chloride content analysis to waterproofing checks and crack surveys. This end-to-end evaluation ensures that no structural detail is overlooked, providing complete transparency on a property’s condition.
4. Detailed Specifications and Bills of Quantities
To streamline planning, we supply clear specifications and bills of quantities for each project. This documentation aids in budgeting and provides a reliable framework for contractors to work from, ensuring that projects remain on track financially and operationally.
5. Bespoke Repair Recommendations
Each building is unique, and so are our recommendations. We tailor repair solutions to fit both the structure’s requirements and the provider’s budget, maximising value without compromising safety or quality.
