Roofing, Waterproofing & Below Grade

SOCOTEC has strategically invested in cutting edge Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) technologies and provide these testing services for both exterior and interior building systems to aid clients in identifying root causes for component or system deficiencies and failures. Following testing, our team can provide potential recommendations for remediation. 

SOCOTEC engages with clients and architects throughout all stages of design and leverages our field experience in inspecting waterproofing installation projects to inform the design decisions. With a heavy focus on reality, we are able to positively impact projects of all types by understanding the waterproofing products and applying them to their best use and in the most effective and efficient manner.  

In most instances, our roofing and waterproofing consultation during the design phases runs parallel to the overall envelope development. This approach allows the team to integrate adjacent systems and details into the waterproofing strategy to avoid gaps in scope and to best provide the most comprehensive solutions. 

Our team participates regularly in industry events and manufacturer’s product demonstrations which keeps us at the forefront of technological advances in materials. This engagement also gives us the benefit of understanding product applicability and availability depending on the end-user and market segment. Obtaining this valuable market insight, we are then able to inform our clients such that efficient decisions can be made to advance the design and construction of the project. 

SOCOTEC’s Renewable Energy team works with our in-house expertise in building envelope, mechanical systems, roofing/waterproofing systems, sustainability and energy efficiency to identify and help implement renewable energy opportunities. Serving as an independent third-party representative, our team has experience with a variety of renewable energy project sizes and types, through all aspects of design and construction. Clients engage us to ensure quality and proper integration throughout the due diligence, design, implementation and verification phases.

Our Structural Restoration Project Managers are experts in concrete restoration and waterproofing. If your building shows signs of deterioration, it’s crucial to address these issues promptly. Delaying repairs can lead to more extensive damage, increasing both the cost and the time your building will be under construction. Concrete damage can stem from various factors, including internal stresses, environmental conditions, exposure to salt and sea air, corrosion of reinforcing steel, temperature fluctuations, failure of other structural components, and inadequate waterproofing. We handle all types of structures, including parking facilities, plaza decks, and balconies.
