TECNALIA experts will carry out meticulous inspections of historic buildings, using advanced detection techniques to assess the impact of possible termite infestations. This preventive approach will enable authorities and owners to take proactive measures to preserve the architectural and structural integrity of the buildings, thus contributing to the long-term preservation of Oñati’s valuable heritage.

Systematic inspections of historic buildings

It is crucial to carry out regular inspections to detect possible termite attacks on wooden structures, as these pests pose potential risks to the integrity of buildings.

Termites are destructive insects that feed on the cellulose in wood, which can lead to significant damage and compromise the structural stability of buildings over time. Systematic inspections allow early detection of the presence of termites, identification of affected areas and assessment of the extent of the damage.

This preventive action not only safeguards the architectural and heritage value of structures, but also enables the timely application of appropriate treatments, avoiding costly repairs and contributing to the long-term preservation of historic and traditional buildings.
