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.
If you have concerns about the structural integrity of your deck or balcony, we're here to help. We'll provide a comprehensive report assessing its current condition and outlining any necessary repairs. Should additional work be required, we also offer design and inspection services to ensure all repairs meet structural safety standards.
