Knowing the true condition of an asset
A structural audit replaces assumption with evidence — an independent, engineering-led assessment that establishes the real condition of an existing building or industrial asset, the safety it offers today, and the service life it has left.
No structure is permanent. Concrete carbonates and reinforcement corrodes, steel loses section, and loads shift as buildings are repurposed, extended or uprated — changes that are gradual, often hidden, and rarely captured by a walk-through. Ageing and existing assets demand a structured assessment that gathers evidence systematically, interprets it against original design intent and current demands, and converts findings into clear, defensible decisions.
From first records to extended service life
Records & Desk Study
We review drawings, original calculations, material specifications and alteration history to establish the design basis and focus the investigation where it matters.
Visual Condition Survey
Experienced engineers walk the asset systematically, mapping distress and forming early hypotheses about its likely cause and significance.
Material Testing & NDT
Targeted non-destructive and selective destructive testing establishes in-situ strength, cover, carbonation, chloride content and corrosion potential.
Structural Health Evaluation
We re-establish load paths and analyse the structure as it actually exists — degraded, modified and loaded by current use — to judge its true safety margins.
Rehabilitation Strategy
We develop repair, strengthening and durability measures grounded in the diagnosed cause of distress, so interventions address the mechanism rather than mask it.
Lifecycle Extension
We establish remaining safe service life and plan the maintenance and monitoring needed to realise it economically well beyond the assumed design life.
Across buildings, plants and ageing infrastructure
Existing Buildings
Occupied and operational buildings facing ageing, observed distress, a change of use, an extension, or transactional due diligence.
Industrial Assets
Plant structures, equipment supports, pipe racks, silos and crane gantries carrying heavy, dynamic loads in aggressive process environments.
Infrastructure & Ageing Assets
Long-service and exposed structures where cumulative deterioration, fatigue and corrosion quietly erode capacity over decades.
Every audit ends in a clear safety assessment — a defensible judgement of residual capacity, benchmarked against the governing codes, that tells owners what is safe, what must be addressed now, and what can be planned or monitored.
