Engineering examination
We examine equipment and building engineering systems, from individual components to the interaction of several networks. We establish the technical causes of faults, check installation and compare actual parameters with the design and contract requirements.
Areas of work
Choose an object or a task. Each service page explains the materials, sample questions and examination process.
01
Examination of lifts and lifting equipment
Causes of recurring shutdowns, installation defects and the quality of completed repairs.

From source materials
to a verifiable result
The scope and methods are selected for the specific task.
01 / MATERIALS
Establish the source information
Data sheet and manual. We will clarify the source of the information, the object's condition and the questions.
02 / EXAMINATION
Agree the scope of work
We determine the necessary methods, specialists, access to the object, timeframe and fee, and record the agreed terms.
03 / RESULT
Receive reasoned conclusions
The written result sets out the materials examined, the examination process, the answers to the questions and the limitations of the conclusions.
