FORENSIC BUILDING INSPECTION

We investigate, identify, and diagnose all types of building envelope failures. By determining the cause of failure, we can address the source of hazards in the building system, such as water damage, mould, and any other building deterioration. We pride ourselves in providing detailed forensic reports on all our investigations.

ROOF SYSTEM COMMISSIONING

By focusing on the roof system within the commissioning process we can analyze designs, assess areads of concern, inspect construction sites and investigate roof failures. A document review is the recommended first step to avoid costly failures at the interfaces between the adjacent assemblies.

BUILDING ENVELOPE COMMISSIONING (BECx)

The commissioning process benifits all  new and pre-existing building projects avoid envelope failure. Orata recommends BECx as part as the conceptual design phase as it ensures that the process conducted throughout the design and construction phases perform as the OPR intended.

ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC ANALYSIS

Failures can happen at any stage in the life of electrical and electronic equipment, such as design, manufacture, installation, operation, and maintenance. Each stage can introduce a different potentially involved party. Our experienced team can identify the root cause of failures and at which stage this cause likely occurred.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING & COMMISSIONING

The primary goal for sustainability and longevity of a building system is to minimize energy consumption, maintenance, and maximize the operations of a building. We understand the complexities of the interactions involved between the multiple mechanical systems within industrial and commercial buildings.
