Frequently asked questions
What is the Surry Hills strata project?
SCE Corp completed a consultant-supported engagement for an occupied strata building in Surry Hills. The scope covered structural assessment and investigations, a building remediation specification, an engineering inspection report, remediation design and tender process management.
What conditions were documented?
The investigation documented stepped brickwork cracking, alignment checks, separation at a brickwork and soffit junction, and localised masonry opening-up to examine the underlying construction.
Why was localised masonry opening-up undertaken?
Localised opening-up exposed underlying construction for inspection. This supported the structural assessment, engineering reporting and preparation of the remediation specification and design.
Can remedial work proceed in an occupied strata building?
Investigation and controlled remedial activities can often proceed in an occupied building when access, exclusion zones, dust and noise controls, resident communication and staging are planned for the specific scope.
Is the project complete?
Yes. The five-item scope described on this page is complete. It covered assessment and investigations, remediation documentation, engineering reporting, remediation design and tender process management.
