ENSURING THE INTEGRITY AND LONGEVITY OF ALL CANADIAN CONCRETE STRUCTURES

Safe Buildings Canada is a Non-Profit Society with the sole mission to regulate
concrete cutting, coring and imaging.

THE PROBLEM


A LACK OF REGULATIONS AROUND STRUCTURAL TESTING

Rapid development and the structural integrity of aging buildings poses
significant risk to the Canadian public. As it stands right now, concrete
structures can be cut and cored without being properly inspected beforehand.


WHAT WE DO


WE WILL CREATE UNIVERSAL STANDARDS FOR THE TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION OF
CONCRETE IMAGING TECHNICIANS CANADA-WIDE.

It needs to be made mandatory for every penetration of a structural member, in
residential and commercial buildings, to be imaged by a professional concrete
imaging technician, and then approved by a Structural Engineer prior to
penetration.

OUR APPROACH


OUR EFFORTS TO REGULATE THE INDUSTRY WILL FOLLOW A THREE-PRONGED APPROACH.

01



POLICY

Develop a regulating legal framework that can be instilled in the national
building code.

02



REGULAR CONSULTATION

Hold quarterly board meetings and an Annual General Meeting to discuss ongoing
developments and opportunities in the industry.

03



CERTIFICATION

Implement and administer a standardized training program for concrete imaging
technicians.
