Boroscope investigation
Boroscope investigations provide a non-destructive and cost-effective means to evaluate the condition of concealed building elements and identify potential issues that may require corrective measures. They help ensure that buildings are safe, functional, and compliant with relevant regulations and standards. The IAA CS testing team are trained professionals with expertise in using boroscope equipment and interpreting the obtained visuals for accurate assessments.
The team will be able to identify potential defects, damage, or deterioration within building components that may not be visible from the exterior. This can also help with detecting issues such as cracks, corrosion, leaks, blockages, or other forms of structural or system failures.
By visually inspecting the building elements, such as ductwork, pipes, cavities, walls, or ceilings, the team can give an accurate assessment of their condition. This helps inform decisions regarding maintenance, repair, or replacement.
The process
Access points, such as small openings or drilled holes, are created in the building components to insert the boroscope. These access points are strategically located to provide visibility of the areas of interest.
The boroscope, which consists of a flexible tube with a camera and light source, is then inserted through the access point into the targeted area. The camera captures images or videos of the internal components, which are transmitted back to a viewing screen for real-time observation.
The tester then navigates the boroscope through the targeted area, manipulating the flexible tube to capture detailed images of the building components.
Reporting
The captured images are documented and analysed by the team with the results collated in an inspection report, which outlines the findings, recommendations, and any necessary remedial actions.
