22
[Claim 6] A method as claimed in Claim 5, wherein the structural elements comprise concrete structural elements and the method includes assessing properties of said concrete by
importing at least one of said thermal images into said CAD software as a background thermal image;
providing a thermal design of said structural element;
overlaying said thermal design onto said background thermal image to generate a quality drawing;
calculating temperature deviations between said thermal image and said thermal design, thereby to calculate thermal performance data; and displaying said data on said quality drawing.
[Claim 7] A method as claimed in Claim 6, which includes displaying in said quality drawing, in addition to the thermal performance data, data representative of (i) the actual setting-out of the at least one structural element, (ii) the spatial design model, and (iii) deviations between said data.
[Claim 8] A method as claimed in any one of Claims 4 to 7 inclusive, wherein step b is carried out in respect of a plurality of pre-determined critical features of said structure, by means of (i) pre-registering and integrating into said spatial design model, predetermined reference data relating to said critical features of said structure; then, (ii) in accordance with step b2, measuring corresponding critical features of the actual setting-out of the structure, thereby to generate measured data; and (iii) cross-referencing said measured data against said reference data pre-registered for said critical features.
[Claim 9] A new system for remote assessment of quality of construction, substantially as herein described.
