Phase 2: Advanced Data Collection

2.1 Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Campaign
  Deploy LiDAR scanning equipment:  Capture high-resolution point cloud of entire structure
  Scan interior common areas and a sample of living spaces
  Conduct drone-based photogrammetry:  Capture ultra-high-resolution imagery of building exterior
  Perform thermal imaging to detect moisture intrusion or insulation issues
  Implement Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) analysis:  Assess foundation condition
  Examine internal structural elements for voids or deterioration
  Perform Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) testing on concrete elements
  Conduct Half-Cell Potential measurements for reinforcement corrosion assessment

2.2 Sensor Network Deployment
  Install a network of IoT sensors:  Vibration sensors at key structural points
  Tilt sensors to monitor building movement
  Strain gauges on critical structural elements
  Corrosion sensors in high-risk areas
  Temperature and humidity sensors
  Set up a secure, real-time data transmission system
  Implement edge computing nodes for preliminary data processing

2.3 Environmental and Contextual Data Collection
  Gather detailed local climate data:  Historical weather patterns
  Sea level rise projections
  Hurricane and storm surge data
  Collect soil and groundwater samples for analysis
  Monitor local construction activities that might impact the structure
  Record traffic patterns and vibrations (if near busy roads)

2.4 Material Testing
  Extract concrete core samples (with minimal intrusion):  Perform compressive strength tests
  Conduct petrographic analysis
  Collect reinforcement samples (if accessible):  Analyze for yield strength and chemical composition
  Test samples for chloride ion penetration (crucial for coastal buildings)

2.5 Data Quality Assurance
  Implement real-time data validation protocols
  Perform regular calibration checks on all sensors and equipment
  Establish a chain of custody for all collected samples and data
