Deck & Balcony Safety
Decks and balconies experience high loads when people gather, creating potential safety risks. A qualified structural engineer can assess whether your deck was built correctly and inspect all structural members and connections for signs of deterioration-giving you peace of mind that your outdoor space is safe for everyone.
Items needing investigation include:
- Connection details of joists and beams to the main building and at columns.
- Potential for column buckling due to excessive height and inferior bracing.
- Handrail attachments and spacing requirements.
- Overall stability and bracing details.
