Surveys
Free Construction Survey | Luxcrete
Our representative can attend the site to conduct a completely free survey, providing critical baseline data for the project. Our representative can compile a detailed report and offer recommendations and advice on your project needs, including professional scoping and feasibility guidance without upfront costs. Accurate surveys also help track site hazards and safety requirements, prevent costly design errors, and streamline timelines. Site surveys and quotations are available without obligation. Survey reports available on request. Please contact our estimating department.
New Installations with Free Site Survey
Luxcrete can attend the site to advise on and survey structural openings, supports, bearings, spans, and loading requirements. Advise on and recommend construction type, with customisable templates to create project-specific forms for each installation project, determine the best method of installation (pre-cast or in situ), and advise on jointing, sealing, and weatherproofing options. These templates can tailor question types, reports, and other details to specific project needs. Photo capture can document site conditions during the survey.
Existing Pavement Lights Building Survey
Early Pavement Lights were of a cast iron construction which were normally only around 30mm deep at the rib sections and the outer frames as little as 15mm in depth. The loading requirements then were not as they are today. Over the years the original non slip embossment can be completely worn away thereby lessening the thickness of the frames and leaving them in a fragile condition. For older property types, a building survey may be appropriate.
Cast iron Pavement Lights were superseded by concrete and glass constructions. Initially with shallow section constructions which complied with the loading requirements of the time.
Lifting of the surrounding finishes, age, and heavy loading can sometimes cause the weatherproofing seal to fail and allow the ingress of water. Not only can this result in water damage and damp which can sustain mould growth, but untreated can severely affect the supporting structure. A Building Survey covers significant defects, urgent defects, and less serious issues in an in depth report. Luxcrete can survey to determine resealing options. Please contact our Technical Department.
In some instances due to age and undue heavy loading fractures can occur to the concrete Pavement lights. This can result in the ingress of water leaving the reinforcing rods subject to corrosion and expansion therefore spalling the soffit concrete to the rib sections. This compromises the structural integrity of the panels and can leave them in a very fragile condition. Luxcrete can survey to determine if any repairs can be made or if full replacement is necessary. Please contact our Technical Advisory Department.
Following the site inspection, Luxcrete can provide an in-depth report detailing the physical condition of the pavement lights, supporting structure, waterproofing systems, and surrounding finishes. The report helps clients evaluate repair and replacement options, track areas of concern, and plan future construction or maintenance works. Where significant defects are identified, our qualified surveyors can discuss practical recommendations and advise on the most appropriate course of action. Survey data and project details are collected on site and incorporated into a comprehensive report for review.
