We can also pinpoint the causes of stone decay and provide advice on appropriate repair and maintenance procedures.<\/p>\n<p>Stone surveys can be performed on any type of stone-built structure, for example buildings, monuments and bridges, and on any number of structures.

Assessments typically encompass the geological character, geotechnical properties, potential uses and historical significance of the stone in a quarry, but can be tailored to suit requirements. BGS laboratories provide a comprehensive range of geotechnical tests (including compressive strength, flexural strength and water absorption tests) in support of building stone activities.<\/p>\n<p>A BGS Building Stone Heritage Assessment is designed to provide information about historical building stone use within a defined area. Assessments can have a wide range of applications; for example, they can be used to inform planning decisions and engage public interest in local stone-built heritage. Modern and archival records of settlement evolution, building construction, quarry operations, developments in transport infrastructure and masonry and architectural styles are reviewed.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d like more information about our services, please <a
