Visual inspection is a highly versatile and effective method commonly used as an initial step in structural assessment. It has the potential to uncover a wealth of information, often providing key insights that lead to identifying the cause of observed issues or distress.

However, the success of visual inspection is heavily dependent on the skill and experience of the investigator. An inspector with a solid background in structural engineering, concrete properties, and construction techniques can draw more accurate conclusions from their observations.

This expertise enables them to recognize subtle signs of damage or deterioration, assess potential causes, and make informed decisions about further investigation or repair. Therefore, to fully leverage the potential of visual inspection, a broad and comprehensive understanding of relevant engineering principles is essential.

It covers the following aspects

• • General information of the building
  • Structural system of the building (Concrete Frame, Steel Structure, others)
  • Diary and Scope of Visual Inspection
  • Survey of loading on the building structures
  • Survey of Un-authorized works to Building structures
  • Survey of signs of structural defects, deformation or deterioration
  • Survey of exposure to aggressive environment
  • Survey of slope, retaining walls and slope protection structures
  • Recommended remedial actions for all defects detected
  • Sketches, Plans, Photographs
  • Structural Engineers Certification
