Checking Engineering

Structural engineering is an important process for protecting users and the public from damage resulting from the failure of structural systems. In the Federal Republic of Germany, technically and economically independent inspection engineers recognized by the supreme building supervisory authorities carry out this structural inspection in accordance with the dual control principle. They check the structural calculations and execution plans of buildings, other structures and engineering structures submitted by other structural engineers on the basis of the applicable building regulations with regard to stability. The check is carried out by analyzing the basis of the calculations and by carrying out our own comparative calculations for the respective structure.

The aim is to identify potential risks at an early stage and to ensure compliance with building standards and regulations. In this way, the quality and durability of construction projects can be better guaranteed and the safety of people and property can be additionally protected.

Our inspection engineers, who are recognized by the supreme building supervisory authorities, carry out these structural inspections at various locations in Germany. There they work directly on site with the engineers from our company who support them. In addition to the inspection of new construction projects, our services also include the inspection of the supporting structures of existing buildings.

Construction site monitoring as part of the checking engineering

Construction site monitoring is an integral part of the structural inspection. The test engineers and the engineers supporting them randomly monitor the construction progress on site to ensure that the construction work is carried out in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. For example, they check whether the reinforcement is being installed correctly. At the end of the inspection process, the building owner or client is given approval for use.
