Test Conducted
Visual Inspection
-
A visual inspection is one of the most important steps in this process, as it helps to identify any visible signs of damage or deterioration.
-
This can include cracks, rot, rust, or other signs that indicate a need for repair or replacement.
Non - Destructive Testing
The structural integrity of a building is initially determined by visual inspection; however, the strength and durability of concrete is an essential factor that decides its longevity and safety. For this purpose, non-destructive testing (NDT) should be carried out to check concrete strength, chemical attack resistance, and corrosion assessment, among other things.
Analysis Report
-
Recommendations for repairs based on the assessment of deterioration, breakage, and faulty materials.
-
Retrofitting, and restoration measures to bring the damaged components up to the required standard.
-
Strengthening the current components of the building to make it more resistant to collapse and increase its load-bearing capacity.
