The CIAC Building, located in Middlesbrough, required a detailed survey as part of a project to add cladding to its external walls. Our client sought a comprehensive understanding of the building’s current condition to inform the cladding installation process.
We conducted two survey methods:
- Drone Oblique Survey – This method provided aerial imagery and data from various angles, allowing for a thorough visual inspection of the building’s exterior without the need for personnel to access the roof directly.
- Laser Point Cloud Survey – This high-detail laser scanning technique captured the building’s precise dimensions and current state, enabling the identification of any existing damage and ensuring accurate planning for the cladding work.
Our client’s primary goal was to obtain accurate, up-to-date information about the building’s structure and condition. This data would be used to plan the cladding installation efficiently and safely.
