When structural integrity is in question, swift and accurate advice is critical. We provide urgent make-safe recommendations to protect life and property while longer-term solutions are determined.
Structural emergencies can arise suddenly — following storm damage, flooding, fire, vehicle impact, or the unexpected failure of a structural element. In these situations, the immediate priority is the safety of occupants and the public. Decisions about access, occupancy, and temporary stabilisation need to be made quickly and on the basis of sound engineering judgement.
Saymex Engineers provides urgent structural assessments and temporary make-safe recommendations when structural integrity is compromised or in doubt. We attend the site promptly, assess the structural condition, and provide clear, practical advice on what measures are necessary to make the structure safe in the short term.
Depending on the situation, our make-safe recommendations may address safe access and occupancy — advising whether a structure or part of a structure can be safely occupied — temporary propping or bracing requirements, area exclusions and barriers to protect occupants and the public, monitoring requirements, and the scope of further investigation or permanent rectification works required.
Temporary make-safe recommendations address the immediate safety situation while a longer-term solution is developed. Saymex Engineers can provide the full scope of structural services that follow — from the investigative assessment to establish the cause, through to the design of permanent rectification works — ensuring continuity throughout the process.
