Our team of structural engineers can call on decades of experience in the field of structural investigation and construction materials testing to forensically examine all types of building structures to establish as-built construction details, material properties and condition.
Our understanding as to why structures deteriorate makes us well placed to design remedial measures to restore structural integrity and rectify defects in the original construction.
We pride ourselves in being able to rapidly respond to support our Client’s needs. We have a strong reputation in the industry for our high quality services, which we consistently deliver, whilst always striving to improve all aspects of our business. This helps us to ensure that we remain at the forefront as leaders in the fields of structural investigation and repair.

We were engaged by KRP Consulting Engineers to design and specify concrete repairs and waterproofing to an existing reinforced concrete pool shell, into which a new 50m Olympic Length outdoor swimming pool was to be constructed.
Through a suite of routine sampling and testing of the concrete frame, OSC identified that all suspended floors comprised HAC pre-stressed concrete beam elements, topped with an in-situ concrete slab.
Inspections of below ground wet and dry ducts that run around the perimeter of the swimming pool at South Reading Leisure Centre identified extensive corrosion induced spalling of the reinforced concrete elements forming the duct structure.
We assisted our Client in assessing the condition of existing filler—joist slabs forming the floors and roofs of an Iconic Grade 1 Listed Building in Central London.
There was a requirement to carry out preliminary load testing of reinforced concrete ribs within a rib and pot slab.
OSC were engaged to investigate the condition of a timber framed bandstand in Forbury Gardens, Reading.
