Ensuring Safety and Integrity Through Comprehensive Assessments

Structural audits are vital for evaluating the condition and safety of buildings and structures, helping to identify any weaknesses or potential hazards that may compromise their integrity. At Infinity Geotechnical Services Kenya, we specialize in conducting thorough structural audits that provide valuable insights into the performance and durability of your assets.

Our Approach to Structural Audits:

1. Comprehensive Inspections
   Our structural audits begin with a detailed inspection of the building or structure. We assess key elements, including:
   • Foundations
   • Load-bearing walls
   • Roofs and floors
   • Columns and beams
   • Structural connections

   This initial assessment allows us to identify visible defects, signs of distress, or deterioration that may require further investigation.

2. Advanced Testing Techniques
   We employ various advanced testing methods to evaluate the structural components accurately, including:
   • Core Drilling: This technique involves extracting core samples from concrete structures to assess material properties and quality. It helps us determine the compressive strength and integrity of the concrete.
   • Schmidt Hammer Testing: This non-destructive test measures the rebound hardness of concrete surfaces, providing an indication of compressive strength and consistency throughout the structure.
   • Rebar (Ferro) Scanning: We utilize specialized equipment to locate and assess the condition of reinforcing steel within concrete. This helps identify potential issues, such as corrosion or improper placement of rebar.
3. Structural Analysis
   After collecting data through inspections and testing, our engineers perform detailed structural analysis. We evaluate the data to assess the load-bearing capacity, stability, and overall structural integrity. This analysis may involve:
   • Comparing the current condition against design specifications and building codes.
   • Evaluating the impact of environmental factors, such as settlement, vibration, and seismic activity.
4. Reporting and Recommendations
   We compile our findings into comprehensive reports that detail the condition of the structure, highlighting any areas of concern and providing actionable recommendations. Our reports typically include:
   • A summary of the inspection and testing methods used.
   • Photographs and diagrams illustrating key findings.
   • Recommendations for repair, maintenance, or further investigation, if necessary.
5. Client Collaboration
   We prioritize clear communication with our clients throughout the structural audit process. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that you fully understand our findings and recommendations, empowering you to make informed decisions about repairs, renovations, or ongoing maintenance.
