STE04: Detailed Structures Examination
The detailed examination is where defects are found, recorded and triaged.
Our STE04-competent examiners deliver the tactile, hands-on inspections that underpin every asset decision downstream, from intervention planning to renewal business cases.
What we deliver…
- STE04-competent examiners delivering tactile detailed exams of bridges, culverts, retaining walls and ancillary structures.
- Multi-discipline access in a single mobilisation: height, rope access, confined space, MEWP and dive scope under one team.
- Enabling works delivered in-house: vegetation clearance, waste and debris removal, work boats and safety pontoons; access is part of the mobilisation, not a separate workstream.
- UK-wide coverage with rapid call-off for planned, reactive and catch-up programmes.
- Defect-coded reporting with photographic evidence and CMS-ready uploads, aligned to Network Rail standards.
- Engineer-reviewed findings linking through to STE02 sign-off where required.
