COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL
With over 1000 property related investigations carried out over the last 16 years, SAMAC Engineering is well placed to assist clients who want to investigate property losses, boiler and machinery losses, and to repair structural failures. These losses have required expertise in mechanical engineering, fire cause and origin, civil engineering, electrical engineering, and metallurgical engineering. Examples of the types of failures investigated include:
LOSS INVESTIGATIONS
- Equipment and appliance failures – hydraulic system failures, water heaters, sump pumps, washers & dryers, air handling units, plastic molding machine, fireworks manufacturing machine, furnaces, crematorium fire, garage lifts
- Piping failures –copper, cast iron, PEX, PVC, steel and fibreglass line failures as well as taps, sewers, fire suppression systems, and valves
- Electrical engineering –commercial and industrial equipment, residential appliances, building wiring, electric fences
- Civil engineering / Structural engineering– failures of masonry walls, stairs, sandstone wall erosion, roofs, etc
- Control systems – furnaces, air conditioning, fire suppression systems
- Mold causation – tracing sources of water
REPAIRS
- Structural repairs - fire repairs of damaged and failed structural components. Typical work includes inspections, engineering repair letters, new structural drawings, architectural drawings and building permits for major building renovations. Types of buildings include residences, hockey rinks, manufacturing facilities, and commercial buildings.
