Leveraging Technology for Inspections
Digital Transformation
Digital transformation is reshaping the way data is captured, transferred, stored, and accessed across the industry. By embracing technological advancements and modern equipment, we ensure our clients receive accurate, high-quality information delivered efficiently and cost-effectively.
How We Use Technology to Improve Performance and Efficiency
Walker Bartels integrates advanced technology and specialised equipment to enhance safety, accuracy, and efficiency. Some examples of this include:
Cloud Storage and Site Tablets
Cloud-based systems allow us to instantly upload photographs and site notes directly from mobile devices and tablets to secure servers. This ensures real-time data capture, streamlined reporting, and improved collaboration.
Drones
Drones enable us to safely inspect roofs and other high-access areas that would otherwise be difficult or hazardous to reach.
Digital Liquid Levels
Digital liquid levels are used to accurately measure and monitor floor levels and building movement.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging technology is used to identify areas with excessive moisture and enables moisture mapping.
Inspection Cameras
Inspection cameras allow us to inspect confined or hard-to-reach spaces without invasive access.
Concrete Strength Testing
We can undertake non-destructive relative strength testing of concrete surfaces using a rebound hammer, to assess whether the concrete’s structural integrity has been affected by heat exposure.
Concrete Scanning
We can undertake concrete scanning to determine the thickness of concrete and the size, location and cover to reinforcement bars.
Digital Moisture Meters
Digital moisture meters measure and monitor the moisture content of various building materials.
Digital Measurement Devices
We utilise digital measurement devices such as digital distometers, inclinometers, and callipers to obtain accurate spatial measurements.
