Preventive inspections in accordance with the PBI ® protocol

Cibor offers preventive inspections in accordance with the PBI ® protocol — carried out on water-bearing pipes, sanitary installations, air and fume ducts, shafts and ventilation systems prior to commissioning.

Our expertise

Preventive inspections on pipes and ducts within buildings.

These inspections are carried out on water-bearing pipes, sanitary installations, air and fume ducts, shafts and ventilation systems prior to commissioning. Cibor offers this service before new-build or renovation projects are partially or fully handed over.

Cibor is also able to assist potential customers when they purchase new buildings. As client, architect or main contractor, you will quickly want to know whether sub-contractors have performed their activities in accordance with generally accepted standards.

Prevention

Prevention is better than cure: avoid expensive demolition work with timely inspections to check whether work has been carried out properly.

Cibor acts as an independent party and examines whether shortcomings are present when the inspection is carried out. This prevents late detection of defects and avoids the need for expensive demolition work when repairing defects.

For whom

  • Clients, architects and main contractors of new-build or renovation projects
  • Sub-contractors increasingly request inspections before their share is handed over
  • Potential customers when purchasing new buildings

What we detect

  • Damp problems, odour problems and leaks
  • Unfinished, forgotten, dubious or incorrect connections between pipes
  • Rubble, etc. in drainage pipes or inspection chambers

Innovative technology

  • Thermography, endoscopy and camera inspection
  • Acoustic measurements and various tracing techniques
  • Whole projects or specific parts — depending on your requirements

Questions?

Handing over a new-build or renovation project?

What can you expect?

What can you expect?

From leakproofness tests to endoscopic inspections — the PBI ® protocol covers every critical installation in your building.

Pipes and pressure lines

Inspection of riser pipes, private drainage pipes and pressure lines — with a leakproofness test on pipes.

Appropriate connections

Inspections for appropriate connections: hot and cold water pipes and drainage of grey and black water.

Endoscopic inspections

Endoscopic inspections in pipes and inaccessible shafts.

Ventilation and odour traps

Tests on the airtightness and functionality of ventilation pipes and odour traps.

Walk-in showers and UV systems

Inspections on the watertightness of walk-in showers and preventive inspections for leaks in negative pressure UV systems — vacuum-based drainage must be air-tight.

Obstructions in pipes

Detection of obstructions (e.g. rubble, insulation materials) to avoid blockages in the future.

Our method

How does Cibor operate?

Cibor engineers investigate whole projects or specific parts of them, depending on your requirements — using innovative technology like thermography, endoscopy, camera inspection, acoustic measurements and various tracing techniques.

Cibor compiles an objective and detailed report for all inspections. Timely intervention by an independent specialist not only avoids expensive demolition work, but also prevents ever-escalating and never-ending disputes.

This avoids expensive demolition work when repairing defects:

  • damp problems
  • dubious connections between pipes
  • odour problems
  • incorrect connections
  • leaks
  • rubble, etc. in drainage pipes or inspection chambers
  • unfinished and/or forgotten connections
  • an objective and detailed report for all inspections
