GREEN ACE strives to make your project a priority, focusing on quality and responsiveness while complying with all applicable codes and standards. To evaluate a building’s integrity, inspection is a must.

• This can include non-destructive testing (NDT) to identify the strength of the concrete, its resistance power, corrosion assessment and so on.
• Make sure to check whether the structure is built according to approved and standard designs and procedures.
• Check whether the structure plan is designed keeping in mind the environmental conditions.
• Prepare signed and sealed engineering/causation reports of findings with recommendations to correct deficiencies.

Structural integrity is the basic fundamental part of engineering the construction of a building. It ensures that the structure is fit to support and withstand the purpose it was built for, its structural load (including its own weight) without any deformation, breaking, brittle fractures, or collapsing due to human abuse and environmental factors, throughout its predicted lifespan. To assure this, it requires periodic inspection and maintenance. Avoiding or delaying can result in catastrophic failure causing monetary loss, loss of life or severe injuries.

The causes of structural failure can be associated with different reasons – environment, bad design, faulty construction and so on. A building’s structure might shake because of its poor foundation or flawed design but most of the time its quality degradation happens because of factors like harsh climatic conditions, natural disasters such as earthquakes, cyclones, soil erosion and other damaging events like explosions, abrasion or corrosion.
