Structural Audit and Retrofitting Design

Structural Audit is an engineering assessment of existing buildings to monitor their structural health. Audits are carried out for various reasons:

When Visual Deterioration such as Cracks & Corrosion are seen

Assessment for Seismic Preparedness
  • Old structures not designed for earthquake forces
  • Loss in Seismic Capacity due to deterioration

Assessment due to increase in loading
  • Addition of floors in a building
  • Addition of rooftop telecom towers/water tanks
  • Increase in crane capacity for industrial plants
  • Addition of equipment / manufacturing lines in industrial plants

Assessment due to change in use (for e.g. from industrial to commercial)

Assessment due to change in owner - for making pre-purchase decision
