Brick Tie Structural Repair Experts
Here on planet Brick-Tie our learning never stops. The first Friday of every month is surveyor’s training day. This doesn’t mean we only learn on this monthly session; no, we’re always considering ways of improving service.
Naturally then, we were delighted to welcome our latest team member – James Firth CSRT. James has over 12 years’ experience in structural repair and in wall tie corrosion. He is now part of our four-man building pathology surveying team.
So it was, that this Friday we had lots of fine tuning to do, including:
- Sharing hints and tips with each other on the use of Computer Aided Design (CAD), which allows us to illustrate structural repair work for clients
- A series of ‘what if’? sessions, where we take turns to ask questions to explore various building failures and repair methods. This includes working out what unintended consequences some structural interventions may generate and, how to avoid them
- Exploration of the health and safety implications around work at height and the legal aspects of risk assessment
- A deep discussion on the Helifix structural repair system; the materials; administration; insurance cover and its advantages/disadvantages
- Professional ethics; meeting the diverse needs of Structural Engineers, Architects, Quantity Surveyors and,
- Finally, we covered personal and professional development, with focus on the Property Care Association Continuing Professional Development program (CPD).
