Demolition or refurbishment of structures is becoming increasingly complex covering issues such as:
- Risk Assessment
- Safety
- Debris Management
- Waste Recycling
- Environmental Requirements.

- Identification of materials and components
- Location of reinforcement, pre-stressing tendons and embedded services
- Non-destructive and load testing of structural elements
- Strength tests on samples of concrete, masonry and steel removed from the structure and determination of other engineering properties
- Sampling and identification of contaminated ground and groundwater or other hazardous materials
- Advice on the re-use of waste materials in new construction
