Hull Surveys
I carry out three types of Hull Survey .........
Osmosis Survey of Fiberglass boats
Osmosis is a natural process which affects some fiberglass boats. It is often caused by using the wrong chemicals in the resin or by bad lay up techniques when the hull was made. It can take 10 to 15 years before any signs of Osmosis are seen. My Osmosis Survey will tell you if it is affecting the boat you are thinking of buying.
Hull Thickness Survey on Steel boats
I use accurate Ultrasonic testing to chart the thickness of steel boat hulls. This is then used to plan repairs and maintenance schemes. It can be repeated every 5 years to monitor corrosion.
Condition Surveys on Wooden boats
My Condition Survey tells you if the hull is affected by rot or has been attacked by worm. I look for open seams, failed caulking, cracked frames, loose fixings and electrolytic damage.
Please let me know what type of Survey you need.
