Structural Audit
A structural audit is a critical assessment of a building’s structural integrity to ensure safety, compliance, and long-term sustainability. It involves a detailed examination of the foundation, load-bearing elements, beams, columns, and other structural components. This process identifies potential risks, weaknesses, or deterioration and provides recommendations for repairs, reinforcements, or upgrades.
Key aspects of a structural audit include:
Identifying cracks, corrosion, or visible defects in structural elements.
Assessing the quality and strength of construction materials like concrete and steel.
Evaluating the building’s ability to bear current and future loads.
Ensuring adherence to building codes, safety standards, and regulations.
Providing actionable insights for repair, maintenance, and structural enhancements.
