Condition Assessment
Our Solutions
V&A conducts condition assessments of coated and uncoated steel and concrete structures.
V&A’s unique expertise with these materials of construction, their properties, and how the environment affects them differentiates us from the traditional engineering firms. This expertise results in valuable recommendations and design services for infrastructure rehabilitation or replacements. Our typical projects include pipelines, tunnels, tanks, digesters, outfall pipelines, water treatment plants, wastewater treatment plants, and pump stations.
We assess resiliency and sustainability by providing methodically-collected field data to clients and utilizing a three-pronged approach to condition assessment projects:
In the field, we verify what actually exists compared to record designed drawings.
We measure and document the condition of infrastructure.
Our engineers and support team provide a detailed report complete with data and recommendations for repair, on-going maintenance, and future considerations.
