Equilibrant Ltd. work with NIW framework consultants and contractors producing comprehensive reports with recommendations for lifecycle management of NIW water and wastewater infrastructure.

We accurately identify the cause, extent and significance of structural deterioration using specialist non-destructive testing techniques and propose remedial works strategies, considering whole life costing, to ensure our clients schedule sustainable remedial interventions.

We have assessed all types of structural infrastructure for the water industry including; reinforced concrete pumping chambers/tanks, primary/final settlement tanks, DAF cells, floc tanks, buildings, footbridges, channels etc.

Typically the structures we assess are suffering from biogenic sulphate corrosion, concrete carbonation with low cover to reinforcement, chloride contamination, sulphate attack, acid attack, cracking etc.
