Structural Integrity Audits
Comprehensive assessment of a building’s or infrastructure’s ability to perform its intended function safely over its service life. These audits are critical for ensuring public safety, complying with regulations, and identifying potential failures before they become catastrophic.
With extensive experience, Crimson Peak Solutions' Structural Integrity Audits team combines industry expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver thorough planning services that save time, reduce costs, and minimize project risks.

Key Elements of a Structural Integrity Audit
A systematic approach that ensures comprehensive planning and risk mitigation
Visual Inspection
Cracks, corrosion, water damage, deformations, settlements. Common focus areas: columns, beams, slabs, joints, foundations.
Material Testing
Concrete: Core testing, rebound hammer, carbonation depth. Steel: Ultrasonic testing, radiography, tensile strength. Non-destructive tests (NDT): Ground penetrating radar (GPR), ultrasonic pulse velocity.
Load Analysis
Check if current structural load aligns with original design specs. Assess changes in use or added loads (e.g., new equipment, extensions).
Design & Drawings Review
Compare as-built conditions to original design drawings and specifications. Identify unauthorized modifications or construction deviations.
Foundation and Soil Investigation
Geotechnical review if signs of settlement or instability are detected.
Compliance Check
Assess against local/national building codes (e.g., IBC, Eurocodes, IS codes). Seismic safety, fire safety, wind load resistance (depending on location).
