What We Look for During Twin Cities Rooftop Anchor Inspections
Our Midwest climate in Minneapolis & St. Paul can wreak havoc on rooftops in all seasons—from the humidity and rainstorms in summer to the heavy, wet snow load and ice damming we expect every winter. Wikstrom Engineering knows the harsh conditions your safety systems need to endure, and will check all rooftop anchors, davits, and tie-off for the following:
- Physical damage such as cracks and deformation that can negatively affect operation
- corrosion or wear and tear that may affect strength or operation
- Examine fasteners for tightness, corrosion, damage, or wear and tear
- Examine welds for corrosion, cracks, damage, or wear and tear
Once inspections or testing has been completed, we will provide information on any identified problems and make recommendations to address any areas of concern and get them back into service, if needed. We will also provide full documentation including inspection/test results and logbooks for each building.
