Expert assessment of steel constructions

After a fire, for example in production and commercial buildings, then it is decisive for the ongoing utilisation to
investigate whether or not the load-bearing steel structures can still continue to withstand the required loads.
Equipped with mobile testing technology, we can support expert fire assessors or insurance assessors on site
when assessing the steel beams.

assessments which were implemented. Based on our broad expertise, it is also possible for us to indicate targeted
