Structural Audit

A Structural Audit is a critical process that assesses the safety, stability, and performance of an existing structure. At Emerges Structural Consultants, we conduct thorough structural audits to evaluate the health and durability of buildings, ensuring they meet safety standards and can withstand environmental and load-related stresses. Our audits involve detailed visual inspections, non-destructive testing, material analysis, and load capacity evaluation to identify signs of damage, deterioration, or structural weakness. Based on our findings, we provide a comprehensive report outlining the condition of the structure along with practical recommendations for repair, retrofitting, or strengthening measures if needed. Structural audits are especially essential for aging buildings, public infrastructure, and structures undergoing modifications. With our expertise, we help clients maintain safe, reliable, and regulation-compliant structures for long-term use.

Key Features of Our Structural Audit Services:

• Visual Inspection: Comprehensive on-site evaluation of structural elements for signs of distress, cracks, corrosion, or deterioration.
• Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Use of advanced techniques like rebound hammer, ultrasonic pulse velocity, and core testing to assess concrete quality.
• Load Assessment: Analysis of the building’s capacity to handle current and future loads, especially in cases of change in use or additional floors.
• Defect Identification: Detection of structural weaknesses, material failures, or workmanship issues that may pose safety risks.
• Audit Report: Detailed report with observations, photographs, test results, structural health grading, and expert recommendations.
