Body Corporate 5 Star Review!
BODY CORP STRUCTURAL ENGINEER REPORTS
SUBSIDENCE, WALL CRACK, UNDERPINNING SPECIALISTS
5 Star Review from a Body Corporate!
"Forensic Engineers were engaged by our Body Corporate at very short notice to conduct an inspection of our townhouse after another Engineering firm provided a less than satisfactory inspection & report on our premises.
They undertook the inspection yesterday in a very timely manner, after ensuring the full scope of work was agreed on by all stakeholders. Before leaving they gave a very much appreciated verbal debrief of his findings to us (the owner occupiers) & our BCC Chair. Their comprehensive report was completed very promptly overnight and sent to stakeholders this morning (Good Friday…a public holiday).
Forensic Engineers have to be commended for their vast professional knowledge, keen attention to detail; and their ability to call ‘a spade a spade’. We are very happy with the service Forensic Engineers has provided. Thumbs up, John & Simone"

Slab Subsidence and Cracks
This Gymnasium floor slab is seriously out-of-level and keeps on moving. And it is becoming dangerous for the patrons.
The property owner called us in to find out what is happening and our investigation found the building property is on compressible river alluvial soils that are constantly settling. And this is causing the gym floor slab panels to settle and "tilt". The property also floods in major rain events which significantly softens the founding soils and exacerbates slab panel movements.
Our Engineer Report recommended Injection of Structural Urethane Resin for reasonable ground stabilization & the re-establishment of a reasonably level floor, with no trip hazards.
Another expert structural engineer report form Forensic Engineers. Another problem solved and another very happy client.

RESIN INJECTION UNDERPINNING REQUIRED
Springfield Lakes House Subsiding; Resin Underpinning Required.
This house has a waffle-pod slab that has gradual subsidence at the front. And it is causing causing house cracks and gaps that are slowly getting larger and larger. The owner wants to stabilize the slab then start re-painting. And wisely, he called Forensic Engineers to conduct an investigation.
Our thorough Structural Engineer Report found that in this case, the ground conditions were Suitable for the Use of Polyurethane Structural Resin. Deep & Shallow Injection would be required to densify the founding soils, and re-support the front of the house slab.

COOMERA WATERS STRUCTURAL ENGINEER REPORT REQUIRED
A brilliant Building & Pest Report spotted cracking in the top of this column and recommended that the buyer contact Forensic Engineers.
Our investigation found there had been some slight settlements during the build, but the column was "sound-as-a-pound".
And the column cracks could be repaired with cementitious grout.
A great result, and Peace of Mind for the buyer.
