Structural Audit & Condition Assessment Services

Inspect. Evaluate. Execute with Assurance.

At Falcon Lab, we believe a building's true strength lies in its integrity. Whether it's a bustling office, a historic landmark, or a modern residential complex, understanding its structural health is paramount. That's where our Structural Condition Assessment Services come in. We offer a deep dive into your building's physical well-being, meticulously examining everything from its foundations and framing to load-bearing elements and other critical components.

Thinking of a renovation, a major redevelopment, or simply need to ensure your building meets compliance standards? We provide the crucial insights you need to make informed, confident decisions every step of the way.

Why a Structural Condition Assessment Isn't Optional – It’s Essential

Catch Hidden Defects Early: We uncover underlying issues before they escalate into expensive failures.
Prioritize Safety: Our assessments ensure the utmost safety for everyone on-site, from occupants to construction teams.
Support Your Vision: Whether it's a minor retrofit or a complete lifecycle overhaul, our data empowers your planning.
Minimize Risk: Changes in occupancy or adaptive reuse projects carry inherent risks; our assessments help mitigate them.
Gain Independent Validation: We offer an unbiased, third-party verification of your structure's soundness.

What We Examine: A Comprehensive Approach

Foundations and structural framing systems: The very backbone of your building.
Concrete, steel, and hybrid structural components: Assessing the condition of all primary materials.
Indicators of distress: Identifying fatigue, settlement, corrosion, or deformation.
Performance Metrics: Evaluating load-bearing capacity and material resilience.
Critical Connections: Inspecting structural joints, detailing, and connections for weaknesses.

Uncovering Insights: Non-Destructive and Partially Destructive Testing

Rebound Hammer Test: For assessing concrete strength.
Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Tests: Measuring concrete quality and uniformity.
Core Extraction and Testing: Direct analysis of material properties.
Half Cell Potential Test: Detecting corrosion in steel reinforcement.
Carbonation Test: Assessing concrete degradation due to carbonation.
Rebar Scanner and Cover Test: Locating reinforcement bars and measuring concrete cover.
Chemical Testing on Concrete: Analyzing concrete composition for potential issues.

Tailored Reports for Strategic Decisions

Every building is unique, and so is our approach to reporting. Your custom report will factor in:

Building specifics: Type, size, and structural complexity.
Project goals: Intended use or renovation objectives.
Comprehensive Data: Insights from on-site inspections, existing documentation, and all test data.

These detailed reports are invaluable for project planning, securing regulatory approvals, addressing insurance requirements, or justifying significant repairs, retrofits, or even demolition.
