أسأل رانك 💡 من المشاكل التي تحدث في أنظمة التكييف هي عدم توزان تدفق الهواء عند المخارج. فعلى سبيل المثال، لدينا وحدة تكييف داخلية (FCU) تقوم بتغذية غرفتين، وفي إحدى الغرف نشعر بالبرودة مقارنةٍ مع الأخرى. يعود سبب هذه المشكلة إلى عدم توازن تدفق الهواء في كل غرفة وهذا يدل أنه لا يوجد (Volume Control Damper - VCD)، وهو عبارة عن صمام يتحكم بكمية الهواء في الدكت (موازنة الهواء) وهذه المشكلة تحدث بسبب أن كامل توزيع الهواء هو باتجاه الغرفة الثانية (الاتجاه الأسهل للهواء بحسب مسار الدكت). لذلك وفي هذه الحالة، لا بد من تركيب VCD قبل مخرج هواء الغرفة الثانية وأن تتم معايرته بحيث يتم خنق الهواء، أي توزيع الهواء بين الغرفتين وفقاً لكمية معينة. يقوم مهندس الميكانيك في شركة Building Rank بفحص سرعة الهواء عند كل مخرج عن طريق جهاز velocity meter، وبالتالي يمكن أن يتم تحديد تدفق الهواء عند كل مخرج. وبعد الانتهاء من الفحص اللاإتلافي، يتم تقديم تقرير يذكر به التوصيات اللازمة من أجل إجراء الموازنة بالمقدار المطلوب. شركة بلدنغ رانك لفحص العقارات Building Rank Group | Building Inspection Services #inspection #Building_Rank #Buildingassessment #Engineers #dubai #uae

Ask Rank 💡 Structural Cracks and non-structural Cracks After conducting several inspections, Cracks interpretation is crucial as it could be dangerous in some cases. We will be discussing the key differences between structural cracks and non-structural cracks, Hazard level: Structural cracks are considered hazardous due to their impact on structural integrity, necessitating immediate attention to prevent risks. While visual non-structural cracks do not affect structural strength significantly. Causes: Structural cracks typically result from major issues such as heavy loads and construction practices, whereas non-structural cracks often arise from minor environmental factors. Appearance: Structural cracks are wider, deeper, and irregular, while non-structural cracks tend to be narrower and more superficial in appearance. Inspection and interpretation: Structural cracks require professional assessment and extensive repairs to mitigate hazards, while non-structural cracks generally require only monitoring and minor maintenance unless they deteriorate.

Ask Rank 💡 After conducting an inspection on one of the properties, it was noticed that the expansion joints are deteriorate Expansion joints are important to prevent concrete cracks on the roof. But the heat temperatures values in Dubai are quite the challenge We can reduce the shrinkage with good mixes, but it is always going to shrink. Therefore, construction joints are conducted on roofs and other conditions. These joints are sealed or filled with special material. Sealer and fillers are not the same, and have very different purposes once applied A sealer possesses a soft texture and able to comply with the concrete slab’s expansion and contraction. On the other hand, a filler is a rigid material that helps in supporting the edges of the joints when subjected to heavy loads Both sealers and fillers should be applied after the slab had the chance to shrink, but this can’t be conducted, therefore, once the fillers or sealers are applied, an inspection should be conducted at the end of the first year of service and repair or replace the deteriorate ones For this type of application, the joints should be cleaned thoroughly with a vacuum cleaner and install the backer rod. The baker rod is made from polyethylene or polyurethane foam. The backer rod is installed to seal all gaps properly and ensure the right settlement of the sealer. According to ACI 504R-90, Guide to Sealing Joints in Concrete Structures, recommends that a ratio of 3:2 is better, since it allows the sealant to adhere better to the sides of the joint.

أسأل رانك 💡 يقوم مهندسي شركة بلدنغ رانك بمعاينة العقار بشكلٍ كامل وفقاً لاشتراطات الكودات العالمية، ASTM و ASHRAE. تمّ القيام بفحص تسريب لأحد الفلل. ومن خلال الكشف الحسي/ البصري تمّ رصد تسريب في سقف حمام الطابق الأرضي. ومن أجل تحديد سبب العيب، تمّ استخدام أحدث أجهزة الفحص اللاإتلافي من دون إلحاق الضرر بأيّة عنصر. قام مهندس شركة بلدنغ رانك بفحص الأماكن المحتملة لحدوث التسريب للمياه في سقف حمام الطابق الأرضي باستخدام أجهزة الفحص اللاإتلافي ومنها جهاز Thermal Imaging Camera. ثم تمّ فحص كامل التمديدات الصحية من أجل تحديد مكان المشكلة. أظهر الفحص باستخدام كاميرة الأنابيب وجود كسر ضمن الكوع الواصل بين أنبوبي الصرف الصحي الشاقولي والأفقي للمغسلة باتجاه ال floor trap. Ask Rank 💡 Building Rank engineers conduct thorough inspections of each property according to ASTM and ASHRAE standards. During the inspection of one of our projects, a leak was observed on the ceiling of the ground floor bathroom through visual inspection. To pinpoint the exact location of the defect, we utilized our high-tech non-destructive devices and tools. Building Rank engineer inspected all potential areas that could have caused the leakage on the bathroom ceiling using a Thermal Imaging Camera. Subsequently, a comprehensive inspection of all water supply and sewage pipe lines was conducted to identify the exact location of the hidden defect. Using a Sewer Pipe Camera, we detected a break in the sink elbow that connects the vertical pipe with the horizontal pipe leading to the floor trap.

Ask Rank 💡 One of the most important inspections we do is the Ground Resistance test. This test is done by utilizing our non-destructive high-tech earth clamp meter. After conducting the inspection for one of our projects, and utilizing the meter for inspection, the value on the meter was OL, which means an Open Loop. When we opened the grounding well, we found that the rod was corroded, and a small part of the rod remained connected to the cable. To fix this defect, a new rod should be installed instead of the Corroded one. Building Rank Group #inspection #Building_Rank #Buildingassessment #Engineers #Electricity

Ask Rank 💪🏻✅️ As structural engineers, we are often asked to evaluate the current condition of all structural elements. This involves the inspection of concrete strength, rebar condition, overall integrity, and durability performance. The standard evaluation involves conducting a site visit with both a core drilling machine and hammer drills to take samples from the concrete and examine the condition of the steel rebar. Further actions involves measuring the bar diameter, spacing, and cover, along with evaluating their condition by taking some concrete cores and cutting some rebar. On the other hand, with advanced technologies, we can utilize non-destructive devices to examine the elements without sabotaging to aid our evaluations. Here are some non-destructive methods: 1- Rebar scanning: This method scans steel rebars to determine its exact location and spacing, and estimates concrete cover. 2- Ultrasonic pulse velocity: This method examines the homogeneity, quality, cracks, cavities, and defects in concrete. 3- Schmidt hammer: This tool provides useful information on the concrete compressive strength, which can be used to compare the quality of concrete at different locations, or integrated into mathematical models to predict compressive strength. On one of our site inspections, exterior columns severed from high humidity underneath that caused steel corrosion. After using the previous methods utilizing high-tech non-destructive devices, the concrete compressive strength value at the top compared to the bottom decreased by half.
