We perform on-site inspections and diagnosis of structures and wood elements through specific exploration techniques, such as thermographic analysis, resistographic profiles or acoustic detection of xylophagous insects. We also analyse the incidence of defects caused by material degradation and other structural type alterations. All the elements of the structure are analysed in detail. Data such as the wood resistant class or the sanitary state of conservation I provided. We also recommend constructive solutions adapted to each particular case.
A) Structural Elements Evaluation
Dimensions
Presence, location and size of clinkers. Organoleptic printing
Presence of biotic or abiotic attacks. Assessment of the extent of attacks by calculating the sonic response
Humidity of the specific zone

B) Tools and novel techniques
Vibrations
Ultrasonic Waveform speed. Thermographic vision analysis
