RDA Carine
We provide professional civil engineering advisory, wood density testing, and structural integrity assessments for timber-based coastal infrastructure, wooden boardwalks, and boat slips under the RDA Carine structural safety standards. Our inspectors detect internal biological decay using localized sound wave tests and evaluate the load-bearing safety of retaining walls.
A specialized civil engineering advisory firm focused on timber coastal infrastructure. We combine field diagnostics with structural analysis to deliver clear safety assessments for piers, boardwalks, and boat slips.
Port authorities, marina operators, coastal municipalities, and private owners who need independent, code-aligned evaluations of aging wooden structures exposed to saltwater and biological decay.
Every inspection follows localized sound wave testing for internal decay detection, combined with load-bearing analysis of retaining walls and deck supports. Reports are grounded in RDA Carine structural safety protocols.
Communication Tone
Technical, direct, and grounded in field experience. We avoid marketing fluff and focus on the specific conditions, methods, and standards that define our work.
Each member brings field experience in timber diagnostics, marine preservation, and structural load analysis under RDA Carine standards.
Senior Structural Engineer
14 years inspecting timber piers and retaining walls. Led the acoustic decay detection pilot for coastal boardwalks in the Eastern Cape.
Marine Pile Specialist
Over a decade focused on saltwater wood preservation and cathodic protection systems. Certified in non‑destructive pile assessment.
Field Inspector & Data Analyst
Conducts on‑site sound wave tests and compiles load‑bearing reports. Previously managed integrity audits for 12 municipal boat slips.
Civil Engineering Advisor
Reviews structural safety protocols and advises on remedial designs for timber infrastructure. Background in port engineering and retaining wall stability.
Wood Density & Decay Analyst
Specialises in laboratory and field density testing for coastal timber. Developed the internal decay risk matrix used in RDA Carine assessments.
Project Coordinator
Manages inspection schedules, client reporting, and field logistics. Ensures every audit follows the RDA Carine structural safety checklist.
