Diagnosing Construction Pathologies: Identifying Damages

Diagnosing Construction Pathologies: Identifying Damages

The challenge of technical distinction

The beginning of a new construction often generates uncertainty regarding the state of neighboring structures. Therefore, conducting a technical diagnosis is essential. In this way, WGB Arquitetura e Engenharia accurately separates pre-existing pathologies from impacts caused by the new construction site. Furthermore, this step protects the builder against undue liabilities.

The rigorous analysis of cracks

Often, residents observe cracks during foundation work. However, it is necessary to investigate the age of these damages. For example, the presence of dirt inside the crack indicates an old pathology. Therefore, chronological analysis prevents hasty diagnoses.

Reference in Santa Catarina soil

Considering the region’s geological context, analysis must receive extra attention in soft soil areas. Especially near the Cachoeira River, in Joinville, the soil behavior requires constant monitoring. Thus, natural movements are not confused with construction defects from the new project.

Mandatory regulatory criteria

Technical safety is based on rigorous parameters. In order to ensure compliance, we strictly follow NBR 12722, which addresses the discrimination of technical services. Additionally, this standard assists in determining civil liability during construction phases. Therefore, the expert report becomes the primary documentary proof in the process.

WGB investigation methodology

We apply photographic mapping techniques and measurements with crack gauges. Furthermore, we compile a complete history before the start of earthworks. In this way, we isolate the real causes of any pathological manifestations. Consequently, the project advances with legal certainty and technical excellence.

Preventive risk management

Prevention is the best path to avoid litigation. For example, by recording the current state of adjacent buildings, we eliminate subjectivity. Moreover, transparent communication with the neighborhood reduces conflicts. Therefore, the diagnosis is not just technical; it is a strategic management tool for your project.

Conclusion

The correct distinction between old and new damage is what separates a successful project from a legal problem. Thus, ensure the integrity of your investment with the specialized support of our team. Protect your assets through our consulting services in Joinville to ensure peace of mind at every stage of construction.
