ROOF EVALUATIONSROOF EVALUATIONSROOF EVALUATIONSROOF EVALUATIONS

FCG uses infrared, capacitance and nuclear equipment to perform nondestructive testing. The following is a

review of the equipment and testing procedures.

Thermal Imaging Radiometer/Infrared CameraThermal Imaging Radiometer/Infrared CameraThermal Imaging Radiometer/Infrared CameraThermal Imaging Radiometer/Infrared Camera

The Infrared Equipment is used to detect the presence of moisture in roof systems due to the differential

heat loss between wet and dry insulation. Wet materials have a lower thermal resistance and more readily

absorb thermal energy than do dry materials; they also release this stored thermal energy at a slower rate.

These warmer areas are viewed as thermal anomalies on the imaging screen. Verification of thermal

anomalies as moisture is required as the infrared equipment does not differentiate between heat sources,

such as space heaters, steam lines, etc. underneath the roof deck, and some surface conditions.

Experienced, trained and Certified Infrared Thermographers are required for this work.

Nuclear Moisture MeterNuclear Moisture MeterNuclear Moisture MeterNuclear Moisture Meter

The nuclear gauge we use is a noninvasive nuclear moisture detector (AM241 Be). The depth of accurate

readings of the nuclear moisture detector is approximately 8 inches.

The nuclear moisture detector operates on the principle of neutron moderation. Hydrogen atoms in the

subject materials slow fast neutrons emitted by the radioactive source. Slowed neutrons are detected and

the counts displayed are proportional to moisture (hydrogen) content. Statistical analysis, core samples

and/or probes into the subject material reduce data to degrees of wet and dry areas. Neutrons are not

blocked by steel, concrete or lead. If there is a sprinkler pipe, steam line or water line just below the roof

deck the detector can give a reading of the water in the pipes.

The major advantage of the nuclear moisture meter is its accuracy. A disadvantage with this method is its

extreme sensitivity to hydrogen atoms in all materials, thus requiring destructive investigation into the

subject material for verification. Trained and certified nuclear technicians are required for this work.

Delmhorst Moisture MeterDelmhorst Moisture MeterDelmhorst Moisture MeterDelmhorst Moisture Meter

The Delmhorst Meter utilizes the relationship between electrical resistance and moisture content in

hygroscopic materials. In some cases this relationship is quite reliable, to the point that a specific

calibration curve can be developed so that the meter reads the moisture in terms of percentage of moisture

content. Among such materials are wood, paper, and textiles of natural fibers. Moisture is detected by

sending a small electrical charge from one probe, through the material, to the other probe. Wet materials

have measurably less electrical resistance (i.e. greater conductivity) than dry materials.

Each of these systems has unique limitations and neither should be used in the presence of standing water;

therefore utilizing two of them in combination provides a desirable cross check with a correspondingly

higher confidence level in the results obtained. We also use physical verification in the form of roof cores to

aid in reducing errors that may be encountered during the course of the moisture survey.

Building envelope surveys investigate and prepare an inventory of walls, windows, doors, floors, and

ceilings. Data collection begins with building profile, as-built data, and building usage. The building

envelope is then inspected to determine problem types, observations, and densities. Building

pressurization is an important part of this investigation. Through the use of trained technicians and

specialized equipment, thermal leaks are detected and recommendations are made for repairs.

Analysis by the consultants and engineers places weighted emphasis on the building usage, and takes into

account such factors as geographic location, climatic conditions, and regional cost/price variances. The

report generated for the owner will include an inventory of existing conditions (defect observations), a

maintenance/repair schedule based on condition assessment, and a financial report for budget projections.

MECHANICAL MECHANICAL MECHANICAL MECHANICAL

These surveys are used for the evaluation of mechanical systems. The information collected includes

component and equipment usage and nameplate data. Components and equipment are then inspected to

determine age and to identify problem type and problem severity.

Mechanical Engineers analyze this information taking into account the age of the components or

equipment, criticality of the equipment, frequency of usage, and repair/replacement cost differentials. The

owner will receive a report with a condition assessment of existing equipment, and a financial statement for

determining projected maintenance and repair/replacement expenditures.

ELECTRICAL ELECTRICAL ELECTRICAL ELECTRICAL

These surveys evaluate electrical systems and components. Data collection focuses on the age of

components and equipment, load, and usage. Components and systems are inspected to determine

problem types and severity, and to pinpoint potentially hazardous situations.

Analysis by the engineers provides information on repair/replacement options, function and criticality of

systems and components, and frequency of usage. This produces a report with an inventory of existing

conditions, serviceability and life expectancy of electrical components and equipment, and a financial

analysis for budgetary purposes.

PAVINGPAVINGPAVINGPAVING

Paving evaluations are system-specific for the various types of pavement. As-built data is collected and the

pavement is then inspected to determine problem types, observations, and densities. The observation is a

specific description of what the problem is, while density indicates the extent of the area affected.

The collected information is analyzed by the team of engineers and technicians that takes into account,

among other factors, regional cost/price differences geographic location, climatic conditions, and usage.

This will generate a report for the owner that will include an inventory of existing conditions (defect

observations), an actual life expectancy based on condition assessment with comparison to the original

design life and present usage, and a financial analysis that prioritizes repair/replacement options for

budgeting purposes.
