What’s structural drying and why is it so important?
Structural drying is the process undertaken after the removal of flood damaged porous building materials. Allowing the underlying structural building materials to dry out with the assistance of dehumidifiers, fans and sometimes gas heated blowers. This reduces the moisture levels present in the building to an acceptable level.
After this process has occurred validation assessments are done to assess the moisture levels within the building, as well as the presence of bacteria and other foreign spores to ensure the building is ready for remediation works. Ensuring mould and other bacteria do not regrow.
All of Council’s buildings have to go through this testing and receive post-remediation verification reports for the buildings moisture, microbial and hazardous material presence.
Council has been receiving these post-remediation verification reports across its built assets, including large buildings such as Lismore City Hall, Lismore Airport Terminal, Lismore Municipal Building, Lismore Library, Lismore Regional Gallery, Lismore Transit Centre and Visitor Information Centre. Some verification certificates have been received others are still awaiting the results of samples sent for testing.
