What are high resolution telescopes and why are they used in structural reports?

The care and maintenance of properties and buildings is an issue that should be treated with great attention. Detecting, analyzing, and repairing structural or construction problems is not a simple job. Before reaching a conclusion and starting with the repair work it is necessary to go through several stages, the observation stage is one of the most important.

Today we have tools that greatly facilitate this task, tools without whose help it would be impossible to detect structural failures so minimal that they escape human sight. We refer to high-resolution telescopes, one of the instruments we use to make our new generation reports and offer a superior quality service.

In the following article, we will learn a little more about this wonderful tool and why it is essential for structural analysis.

Beyond human sight: the importance of telescopic tools in property surveys

The vast majority of buildings have structural failures that are almost impossible to detect, not even the trained eye of the best professionals can capture the smallest faults in the facade or structure of a building. For this reason, the use of telescopic tools has been implemented to be able to find those faults that are hidden from human sight.

Thanks to its technology and the ability to increase the size of the images captured by its lens, the high-resolution telescope is one of the tools most used by specialists to detect and analyze the tiny faults that occur in a structure.

The operation of a telescope, despite being extremely fascinating, does not represent science that is too complex: the lens captures the greatest amount of light emitted by an object and then focuses and transmits it to the human eye, making distant or tiny objects much more visible. You can also use different accessories to improve power or change some of the functions offered by these tools.

For example, wide-angle lenses, refractors, and even special lenses that allow infrared images to be captured (this is very helpful in detecting water leaks or any other liquid) making the high-resolution telescope an extremely useful and versatile tool. Its application to the analysis of structures and buildings is not reduced only to inspect the facade, they are also used by specialists to study the environment, the land on which a property is built, and any other relevant aspect related to property surveys.

At HICH LTD we use only the best high-resolution telescopes to offer much more detailed and specific building reports. Even the slightest failure in the structure of your property can trigger a much bigger problem, from leaks to a total or partial collapse. What is even more alarming is the fact that at least 85% of buildings in the UK have structural failures that can only be detected with telescopic tools. Avoid taking unnecessary risks and request one of our new generation property surveys!

Remember that if you wish to have more information about our property surveys, our database of trusted contractors, or any of the services we offer, do not hesitate to contact us.

Remember, your well-being and that of your property is our priority.
