9. Building Fabric Investigation Permitted Action Schedule Part C – Implementation Tools Old Parliament House and Curtilage Heritage Management Plan <strong>2008–2013</strong> 141 3 DEFINITIONS Non-destructive investigative techniques are defined as: ■■methods of examining built fabrics that do not require openings or damage. Destructive investigation techniques are defined as: ■■methods of examining built fabrics that involve piercing or otherwise damaging the existing surface in order to reveal and probe the subsurface. 4 INVESTIGATIVE TECHNIQUES Methods for undertaking investigations of heritage built fabric can be either destructive or non-destructive. Preliminary investigations should not intervene in the fabric (article 24 of the ICOMOS Burra Charter). Such disturbance can destroy important evidence, before significance has been assessed. Exceptions to this rule are: where the fabric is being lost through deterioration, as part of emergency conservation works, or prior to an approved demolition. Such investigations should always be supervised by heritage professionals. Non-destructive techniques Destructive techniques 5.1 Visual inspection 6.1 Endoscopy 5.2 Surface mapping 6.2 Micro-drilling 5.3 Thermography 6.3 Laboratory analysis 5.4 Impulse radar 6.3.1 Heritage paint analysis 5.5 Ultrasonics 6.3.2 Mortar and plaster analysis 5.6 Moisture measurement 6.3.3 Dendrochronology All investigative Actions should begin with the simplest, non-destructive processes and proceed as necessary. Building Fabric Investigation must be carried out in the following order: 1. Visual investigation and mapping; 2. Other forms of non-destructive sub-surface testing (if insufficient information has been gathered from visual inspections); and 3. Various degrees of sub-surface destructive testing (only if insufficient information has been gathered from other forms of non-destructive sub-surface testing).
9. Building Fabric Investigation Permitted Action Schedule Part C – Implementation Tools 142 Old Parliament House and Curtilage Heritage Management Plan <strong>2008–2013</strong> 5 NON-DESTRUCTIVE INVESTIGATIVE TECHNIQUES 5.1 VISUAL INSPECTION Visual inspection is a non-destructive technique that involves looking for visual clues about the physical nature or condition of a building. An experienced eye will usually find an array of clues that may reveal information about the type of building materials, the type of construction method, and a broad range of similar details. Advantages Disadvantages — Quick; cost effective; may be reasonably carried out by any informed individual — Relies on the inspector maintaining concentrated focus over an extended time, may not identify subtle or hidden clues Permitted Actions Visual inspection of all heritage fabric using any means available provided that no intervention or damage is caused to the heritage fabric being inspected. Use of any tools/equipment enabling access to heritage fabric for the purposes of visual inspection provided that all heritage surfaces such as floors and walls are adequately protected from potential damage. Repositioning of movable furniture or other portable items to enable access for visual investigation provided it is carried out in accordance with the Housekeeping Permitted Action Schedule and after consultation with the OPH Heritage staff. Not Permitted Actions Removal, either temporarily or permanently, of any existing building fabric for the purposes of visually inspecting fabric that is currently hidden from view. Use of any tools/equipment providing access to heritage fabric without adequate protective devices in place to protect heritage surfaces such as floors and walls. Repositioning of movable furniture or other portable items to enable access for visual investigation without reference to the Housekeeping Permitted Action Schedule or prior consultation with the OPH Heritage staff. 5.2 SURFACE MAPPING Surface mapping is a non-invasive method for investigating sub-surface details of built fabric using a high-powered, portable light used at an angle on a flat surface. The method relies upon senses of sight and touch. It is the best tool for examining surfaces in dark spaces. The use of surface mapping is a permitted action appropriate for: ■■revealing every perceivable detail of former attachments, repairs or alterations ■■identifying potential structural or environmental problems ■■verifying the need for other forms of investigation. Advantages — Quick; may be reasonably carried out by any informed individual Disadvantages — May require access equipment Permitted Actions Surface mapping of all heritage fabric provided that no intervention or damage is caused to the heritage fabric being mapped. Repositioning of movable furniture or other portable items to enable access for surface mapping provided it is carried out in accordance with the Housekeeping Permitted Action Schedule. Use of any tools/equipment enabling access to heritage fabric for the purposes of surface mapping provided that all heritage surfaces such as floors and walls are adequately protected from potential damage. Not Permitted Actions Removal, either temporarily or permanently, of any existing building fabric for the purposes of surface mapping fabric that is currently hidden from view. Repositioning of movable furniture or other portable items to enable access for surface mapping without reference to the Housekeeping Permitted Action Schedule or prior consultation with the OPH Heritage staff. Use of any tools/equipment providing access to heritage fabric without adequate protective devices in place to protect heritage surfaces such as floors and walls.
