Materials Selection – Remedy AP

For both new design and maintenance of complex infrastructure, RemedyAP’s materials performance specialists can conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the environmental conditions, stresses, and operational demands that construction materials will encounter. Our expertise in materials selection for building remediation and infrastructure repair ensures that every component used is durable, compatible, and fit for purpose, minimising lifecycle costs and maximising performance.

What To Expect With Our Materials Selection Service

The process requires consideration of factors such as corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, cost, availability, and ease of installation and repair. The goal is to ensure long-term performance, safety, and reliability while minimising maintenance and lifecycle costs. Based on this evaluation, our material consultants can formulate performance criteria and generically select materials and protective systems that are most appropriate for the exposure and operational conditions that prevail at specific sites.

We offer expert concrete inspection – material selection advice that takes into account compliance with material standards, industry best practices, and the practical realities of construction or remediation works. A core strength of RemedyAP lies in balancing the ease of application or installation with cost, resulting in efficient, tailored solutions backed by robust durability assessments.

Technical Documentation

Initial Consultation
We begin with a detailed discussion to understand your project needs, objectives, and any specific concerns related to durability, constructability, and compliance. As your trusted materials engineering consultant, we focus on aligning your project goals with the most suitable materials and practices.

Risk Assessment & Analysis
Our experts conduct a thorough assessment of your project’s design, selected materials, and environmental factors to identify potential risks and areas for improvement. We evaluate the performance of construction materials under expected service conditions, ensuring all components meet your durability and compliance requirements.

Recommendations & Planning
Based on our findings, we provide tailored recommendations and develop a strategic plan to mitigate identified risks. This includes a detailed material suitability analysis, which helps ensure the selected materials align with your project’s structural, environmental, and operational demands.

Specification & Inspection
We collaborate closely with you to issue a precise technical specification and a comprehensive inspection and test plan. This step reinforces quality assurance and lays a solid foundation for long-term project success through effective materials performance management.

Optimising Material Selection for Long-Term Performance and Cost Efficiency

RemedyAP are engaged by in the built environment by companies who design and build for clients such as high-rise buildings, stadiums and conference centres. Having liability for design, the building company engages RemedyAP to provide a secondary review of their produced documents, ensuring suitable materials are specified to meet the expected service life.

Even if the builder is not responsible for design, they engage RemedyAP to review the engineering and architectural specifications they have been provided. By providing a gap analysis, our materials experts can help builders by justifying upgrading component materials and likely claim the increase in cost as a variation. In lieu of an approved variation, the builder can include a more onerous maintenance requirement for the end-user to ensure corrosion and degradation do not become a warranty claim against the builder in future years.

Industrial facilities engage RemedyAP to provide materials specifications in highly corrosive environments like the containment of acids and chemicals or harsh environments. These include tanks, jetties, wharfs, pipelines, process facilities, sewerage plants, water storage, and oil and gas.

Using our team of experts ensures identification of hazardous micro-climates, bi-mettallic coupling, inferior materials and corrosion protection systems.

When to use us

As your trusted building materials advisor, we focus on helping you choose materials that not only meet your project’s aesthetic and functional needs but also stand the test of time. By applying insights from our experience as a materials science consultant, we evaluate how different materials respond to environmental conditions and usage demands. To ensure the highest standards, we also provide expert materials testing consultant services, overseeing thorough testing and quality assurance processes. This integrated approach guarantees that your materials are both suitable and reliable, supporting the long-term success of your construction project.
