Electronic Field Vector Mapping is a technique used to measure and visualize the distribution of electromagnetic fields in a specific area. Utilizing advanced sensors and data collection tools, this method captures field strength, direction, and variations across different frequencies. The gathered data is then processed to create detailed maps that illustrate the electromagnetic environment, which can be valuable for applications in telecommunications, environmental studies, and safety assessments. This mapping helps in optimizing system designs, ensuring regulatory compliance, and identifying potential interference issues.

Electronic Field Vector Mapping is a method of electronic leak detection that pinpoints breaches in the roof membrane by tracing the flow of an electric current across the membrane surface.
Vector mapping eliminates the threat and potential damage inherent in traditional flood testing. Unlike the interpretive process of water, flood, infrared, or nuclear testing, vector mapping detects membrane faults directly.
Vector mapping is ideal for quality and warranty assurance needs, for leak testing of green (vegetative) and ballasted roofs, and for leak detection in all low-slope roofing systems in which the membrane is not electrically conductive and the deck can be electrically grounded.
Even pinhole leaks invisible to the naked eye can be pinpointed with vector mapping, and repairs can be made on the spot and immediately retested to ensure watertight results.

What is Structural Engineering?
Structural engineering is a sub-discipline of civil engineering in which structural engineers are trained to design the 'bones and joints' that create the form and shape of human-made structures and buildings
What is Civil Engineering?
Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including public works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewage systems, pipelines, structural components of buildings, and railways.
What is Milestone Inspection?
In June 2021 a residential condominium building in Surfside, FL, collapsed, causing the death of 98 people. In May 2022 the Florida government reacted by enacting mandatory structural inspections for aging condominiums (FL Statute Section 553.899), called a “milestone inspection,” intended to increase building safety. Milestone Inspection is an inspection of the building’s structural integrity and includes inspection of the load-bearing walls and other structural elements designed to provide support and stability for the overall structure.
Who Needs a Milestone Inspection?
All condominiums and cooperative buildings in the state of Florida that are three or more stories in height when the building reaches a certain age. For buildings 30 years of age and every 10 years thereafter, or buildings 25 years of age and every 10 years thereafter if the building is located within three miles of a coastline. If a milestone inspection is required and the building’s certificate of occupancy was issued on or before July 1, 1992, the building’s initial milestone inspection shall be performed before December 31, 2024.
What is the Purpose of a Milestone Inspection?
The purpose of the milestone inspection is to determine if evidence of substantial structural deterioration can be identified.
Who can Perform a Milestone Inspection?
An inspection can be performed by a licensed architect or engineer authorized to practice in the state of Florida who is qualified to attest to the general structural condition of the building and any necessary maintenance, repair, or replacement of any structural component.
Is Cronin Engineering Authorized to Perform Milestone Inspections?
Yes.
