STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS
- VISUAL INSPECTIONOur assessment typically begins with a visual inspection of the structure to identify any visible signs of damage or deterioration. Our inspector will look for cracks, corrosion, settlement, and other signs of wear or damage.
- NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTINGNon-destructive testing methods may be used to evaluate the condition of certain structural components without causing damage. Examples of non-destructive testing methods include ultrasonic testing, radiography, and magnetic particle testing.
- LOAD TESTINGLoad testing may be used to assess the load capacity of certain structural components, such as beams, columns, and slabs. Load testing involves applying a controlled load to the component and measuring its response to the load.
- ANALYSISOnce the data has been collected, our structural engineer will analyze the results to determine the overall condition of the structure and identify any areas of concern. This may involve using computer models to simulate the behavior of the structure under different loads.
- RECOMMENDATIONSBased on the results of the assessment, we will provide recommendations for repairs or upgrades to ensure the safety and stability of the structure. These recommendations may include repairs to damaged components, reinforcement of weak areas, or replacement of outdated materials.
- REPORTINGA detailed report containing all the recommendations will be compiled and sent to the client for their reference.
