The Process of a Seawall Inspection
Initial Consultation:
Meet with the client to discuss any concerns, seawall history, and visible issues or damage observed.Site Assessment and Preparation:
Review the surrounding area, soil conditions, and potential tidal impact, setting up any necessary equipment for both land and underwater assessments.
Above-Water Inspection:
Perform a visual inspection of the exposed seawall surface, checking for cracks, spalling, erosion, rust on rebar, misalignment, and signs of structural distress.Underwater Inspection:
Utilize divers or underwater cameras to inspect submerged areas for erosion, corrosion, or any foundation damage compromising the seawall.Tieback and Anchor Check:
Inspect tiebacks, anchors, and other stabilization systems to ensure they remain secure and have not degraded or shifted.Soil and Backfill Evaluation:
Examine soil and backfill behind the seawall to identify sinkholes, voids, or settling, which could impact the seawall's stability.Drainage Assessment:
Check drainage systems, including weep holes, to ensure they allow proper water flow and reduce hydrostatic pressure behind the seawall.
Structural Integrity Analysis:
Evaluate structural components by checking the alignment and condition of panels, caps, and joints for any signs of stress, movement, or wear.Documentation and Reporting:
Take detailed notes, photos, and measurements of areas needing attention, recording all findings for the final inspection report.Inspection Report Preparation:
Compile findings into a comprehensive report detailing observed damage, necessary repairs, and any urgent actions, with supporting photos and sketches.Recommendations and Next Steps: Provide the client with recommended repair actions, timelines, cost estimates, and preventative maintenance suggestions if needed.
Final Consultation:
Review the inspection report with the client, answer questions, and discuss repair or maintenance next steps.
