Global Heritage and Sustainability: Geological, Cultural and Historical
Analytical techniques to diagnose the damage of the building stone “in situ”
“In situ measurements provide important complementary quantitativeinformation on stone materials and weathering characteristics. Theyenable examination of stone structures in their current condition withoutany changes due to sampling or removal.”

“Non-destructive testing (NDT) is also referred to as nondestructive
investigation and involves the use of technology to diagnose and verify
the extent of defects where decay or other problems are suspected but
hidden by decorative finishes or buried within structural elements.

Infrared thermography
Advantages• The assessment is usually
quick to obtain.• There is no requirement for
access scaffolding.Disadvantages• The system is sensitive to weather.
• Surveys are often required to be undertaken at night in order
Ultrasonic measurementsAdvantages• The equipment is more easily portable than other NDT systems.
Disadvantages• An agent coupling gel is required
to ensure direct contact between the building element and the transducer.
This gel is often inappropriate for historic building surfaces. An
alternative nondamaging foam is
available, but this reduces the thickness of the material that can be
tested. Access is required both sides of the
material.Multiple readings are required in
order to build up an accurate picture and the system therefore tends to
be slow.B. Fritzner, 2002

GPR RadarAdvantages• The antennae do not need to be in contact with the surfaces of the
materials under test.• No surface preparation is necessary.
• The equipment may be moved across the surface of the material to build up a
complete picture in a short time.
Disadvantages• The system is generally suitable for
homogenous materials such as concrete, and complex materials such
as timber framing cannot be readily interpreted.
• Microwave energy can be harmful due to its heating properties and a detailed
risk assessment is required.• Adjacent areas of the building may
need to be vacated to minimise the health risks associated with microwave
energy.

Radiography
Advantages• Metal appears on the x-ray image as a very clear, sharp profile thus enabling a detailed assessment ofits condition.
Disadvantages• Notices need to be submitted to the factory
inspectorate.• Shielding is necessary to prevent radiation
leakage.• Access is required to both sides of the material.• Setting up is time consuming as great accuracy is
required to prevent distorted images.• Adjacent areas of the building may need to be
vacated.• A mains power source is required as batterysupply is generally inadequate.
• A risk assessment is required for works of art andfine finishes.
