Preservation decisions grounded in structural evidence.
Historic structures require engineering evidence that supports preservation without erasing the identity of the asset. Starmass combines structural assessment, environmental review, monitoring, and digital documentation for sensitive heritage environments.
Document
Create a reliable record of geometry, material condition, and change.
Diagnose
Identify movement, deterioration, loading, and environmental causes.
Preserve
Support intervention without compromising the identity of the asset.
Understand the cause before defining the intervention.
Historic structures carry material, cultural, and operational constraints that make generic assessment unsuitable. The work must protect both physical performance and historic character.
Structural analysis
Assess structural stability and integrity while creating digital records that can support engineering review and long-term archives.
Footfall analysis
Measure visitor movement and loading so public access can be managed without compromising vulnerable historic structures.
Environmental impact assessment
Review how nearby construction, development, and environmental conditions may affect a heritage asset.
Root-cause analysis
Identify the conditions behind deterioration, decay, movement, or damage before defining a remedial strategy.
Residual-life assessment
Evaluate current condition and remaining service life to support preservation, maintenance, and rehabilitation priorities.
Seismic vulnerability
Assess heritage structures in earthquake-prone areas and define evidence-led measures that improve long-term resilience.
Monitoring in living heritage environments.
Starmass project experience includes condition and movement monitoring around significant heritage structures where public access, ongoing operations, and preservation requirements must coexist.
Protect significance with better evidence.
Share the asset history, visible concern, and preservation objective. The Starmass team can help define a proportionate investigation and monitoring strategy.
