TELECOM – INSPECTION PRIOR TO EQUIPMENTS INSTALLATION

For telecommunication companies who need to evaluate the condition of a building envelope on which they plan to install telecommunication equipments (antennas, rooftops, cable trays, etc.) on roofs and walls

• Roofs
• Walls
• Building envelope
• Complete report, at a very competitive price

A general visual inspection/expertise of the building envelope or parts of the building envelope, such as roofs and penthouses walls, is essential for any telecommunication company who look to evaluate the condition of the building envelope prior to telecom equipment installation on walls and roofs (antennas, roof tops, cable trays, etc.) , in order to reduce risks of misinterpretations or lawsuits.

We suggest to perform the followings steps :

• Collect technical data (date of construction, recurrent issues/damages observed, available documentation) from the building owner/manager
• Identify apparent damages to the components (often related to poor through-wall flashing, faulty water drainage design, inadequate maintenance repair over years, etc.)
• Perform a complete building inspection
• Identify, quantify and evaluate the condition of all the building envelope components, such as:
  • Siding : Masonry/concrete/stone/wood/metal, etc.
  • Curtain wall and windows, openings
  • Roof and equipments
•  Perform additional inspection methods to validate observations, such as :
  • Exploratory cuts
  • Thermography
  • Water tests
  • Lab analysis
  • Excavation
  • Input from our engineers or architects partners
• Produce a complete technical report summarizing collected observations/data during building inspection, including the following
  • Description of the premises
  • Observations and photos
  • Any relevant sketch for a better comprehension
  • Detailed 11” x17” plans of the area studied (roof plan, facade plan, elevation, etc.)
  • Analysis, discussion
  • Life expectancy of components
  • Complete technical recommendation for short to long term solutions
  • Budgetary evaluation of the recommended work
