Structural Assessment

Structural assessment of old buildings is a specialized service aimed at evaluating the safety, stability, and integrity of aging structures. This process involves detailed inspections, testing, and analysis to identify signs of deterioration, damage, or structural weakness due to age, environmental exposure, or prior modifications. The goal is to determine whether the building remains fit for use, requires repair, or needs reinforcement to meet current safety standards.
 

Key aspects include:

• Visual inspection for cracks, corrosion, settlement, and deformation
• Non-destructive testing (NDT) such as rebound hammer and ultrasonic tests
• Load-bearing capacity evaluation of beams, columns, slabs, and foundations
• Assessment of structural drawings (if available) vs actual conditions
• Recommendations for repairs, retrofitting, or demolition
• Compliance with local building codes and safety regulations
