Elliott, LeBoeuf & Associates Structural Engineering

We offer a basic ("Level I") structural survey to keep you in compliance with NFPA 1403's requirement for annual structural surveys. This survey includes a visual structural survey, sounding of exposed structural elements, testing of structural elements (if required), and removal of representative thermal linings to observe hidden conditions (if required). The written report for this survey lists the structural defects and provides repair recommendations.

In addition, we offer a "Level II" survey that evaluates thermal linings and other nonuctural items (doors, shutters, scuppers, temperature monitoring systems, etc.), evaluates the "functionality" of the existing burn building layout, provides repair and renovation recommendations, and also provides long-term master planning for the burn building, including life-cycle cost analysis of different renovation/replacement options.

Costs of the surveys can be discounted if several facilities within a region can all have their surveys performed simultaneously.

Concrete spalls found at ceiling behind damaged thermal lining boards. We know how to repair this damage and how to prevent it from happening again.

Repaired burn room that will provide safe live fire training for at least 20 more years.
