SHOP AWNING INSPECTION & CERTIFICATION
In recent times there have been reported incidents of shop awning collapses, in the State of NSW, generally without prior warning and in two (2) cases, the awning collapse led to loss of life.
Where there is loss of life, a coronial inquiry follows and from the findings of the Coroner is such that it is now incumbent upon Councils to conduct a safety audit of shop awnings within their Local Government Area.
Accordingly, it has become the responsibility of many local Councils to raise awareness towards the safety of shop awnings that extend over, or occupy the air space of public land within its area, i.e. the space of the public footpath, through the following measures:
Confirming responsibility of the building owner to ensure shop awnings are maintained in good order and are of sound condition to sustain their stability under the most adverse of conditions, particularly during high wind conditions and storms; and
Where the shop awning attached to building premises is more than 10 years in age, it is a requirement of the local Council that you engage a Professional Engineer to inspect the awning for its structural adequacy and is safe and capable of sustaining the most adverse combination of loads.

EXISTING PILE FOOTING VALIDATION, CERTIFICATION AND REPORTING
Pile Integrity Testing (pit) Using Echo Sonic Equipment
Silver Wolf Projects can undertake Pile Integrity Testing (PIT) using our Echo Sonic Equipment validate pre-existing condition, structural depth and validate existing buried pile footings and provide structural reports and design criteria for Contractors to enable potential to re-use in retrospective design or incorporate into new footing designs.
Using our Echo Sonic Equipment, we can establish the constructed depth of an existing buried pile including any notable defects such as bulging, breakage or discontinuities.
In the case of assets such as light poles and other structures such as noise walls, flag poles and bridges relying on buried pile footings, Silver Wolf Projects has successfully completed Pile Integrity Testing and Structural designs for re-use of existing pile footings in differing circumstances to enable use rather than constructing new footings for Contractors providing considerable economic and program benefits to project works.

STRUCTURAL PULL-OUT TESTING & CERTIFICATION OF ANCHOR POINTS, CAST IN BOLTS AND FIXINGS
Silver Wolf Projects can perform structural inspection, undertake on-site “pull-out” testing and certification of cast-in or post-anchored mechanical or chemical fixings from M10 to M24 bolts in application or use as anchor points or hold-down bolts or studs in a variety of falsework to permanent structures.
Our pull-out testing rigs provides a versatile range of tensile test up to 50kN (5 tonne) for anchors, bolts, stud or eyelets in accordance with relevant Australian Standards including AS 1891.4, AS3600 & AS 4100 or project specific requirements.
Should you have a variation of fixings or requirements to the above mentioned size and load test guides, please do not hesitate to contact us for enquiry and clarification by our team of expert Engineers.
Using specialised “pull-out” testing equipment, Silver Wolf Projects can also perform the necessary yearly testing certification where is required by project specific requirements.
