- Description:
Operating in the civil engineering and building markets, Balvac undertakes structural health monitoring, diagnostic testing and survey services, noise vibration, air quality monitoring and pile testing, utilising non-destructive techniques and technologies. These disciplines compliment and support the company's core services of structural concrete repair, strengthening and protection of civil infrastructure and building assets and in ground engineering.
It operates predominantly in the highway infrastructure sector and in energy, power, renewables, defence and industrial sectors. Incorporated in 1933 as Whitley Moran & Ltd and acquired by Balfour Beatty in 1967, Balvac has changed and developed over many years, but its core principles of innovation, adaption and technical excellence remain central to its business.
It has been a leading pile testing expert in the ground engineering sector for over 30 years, utilising traditional and innovative testing techniques, and has undertaken many structural monitoring projects over the last 20 years. Balvac aspires to introduce new technology when appropriate, incorporating remote web-based monitoring, supported by solar power, thus utilising the most sustainable solutions available.
As the company looks forward, it sees structural health monitoring, testing and survey services as an integrated part of its overall service offering to infrastructure customers, as it provides an end-to-end professional service (detect, diagnose, develop, deliver).
