Fibre optic probe surveys

Abstract

There has always been a need for the opportunity to extend the chartered building surveyor's inspection into those areas of a building structure which are concealed or inaccessible. In recent years, the rapid development of fibre optic probes has resulted in a most interesting application of these instruments to the field of building surveying. This development means that a small but important part of the structure, previously impossible to examine beyond a surface inspection, is within the surveyor's capability to observe, once equipped with the latest surveying devices.
