Structural Safety Audit

Comprehensive structural inspections to assess building condition, stability and safety, with clear recommendations for remedial action.

What is a Structural Safety Audit?

A Structural Safety Audit is a detailed technical evaluation of a building’s stability, strength, durability and fitness for occupancy. It helps identify concerns such as cracking, corrosion, settlement, material deterioration and load-related distress before they compromise structural integrity.

Agni Suraksha combines site inspection, suitable non-destructive testing and structural analysis to provide clear findings and practical recommendations. Assessments are aligned with applicable standards, including IS 456 and IS 1893, together with relevant local building regulations.

What We Cover

A complete view of structural safety

From visible distress to material condition and load performance, the audit is tailored to your facility.

Structural Elements

Detailed inspection of beams, columns, slabs, foundations, connections and other load-bearing elements.

Condition Assessment

Identification of cracks, corrosion, settlement, deformation, water damage and other visible signs of distress.

Load & Seismic Review

Review of load-carrying capacity and structural performance under dead, live, wind and seismic loads.

Material Testing

Appropriate non-destructive testing may include rebound hammer, ultrasonic pulse velocity and ground-penetrating radar.

Code Compliance

Assessment against applicable standards, local building regulations and project-specific requirements.

Practical Remediation

Prioritised, site-appropriate recommendations for repairs, strengthening, retrofitting and ongoing maintenance.

Audit Scope

Structured assessment, tailored to the site

The precise scope depends on the type, condition and intended use of the structure. A typical engagement may include:

  • Review of available design, construction and as-built documents
  • Preliminary site inspection and discussion with facility representatives
  • Detailed condition assessment of structural elements and connections
  • Assessment of load paths, loading conditions and structural performance
  • Concrete, steel and material testing where required
  • Non-destructive testing using suitable techniques and instruments
  • Review of deviations between drawings and the built structure
  • Code-compliance and risk assessment
  • Prioritised remedial measures and indicative implementation guidance
  • Maintenance review and recommendations for follow-up inspections

Standards & compliance

Structural assessments are generally carried out with reference to the standards and regulations applicable to the project.

  • IS 456: Plain and Reinforced Concrete
  • IS 1893: Criteria for earthquake-resistant design of structures
  • Relevant Bureau of Indian Standards guidance
  • Local municipal corporation and building regulations
  • National disaster-management safety recommendations, where applicable
Outcome: a well-documented understanding of the structure’s present condition, risks and recommended next steps.
Our Process

From inspection to practical action

01

Scope & Records Review

We define the assessment scope and review the drawings, past repair records and information available for the building.

02

Site Inspection

Our engineers inspect the structure and document areas of concern, including external and relevant internal building elements.

03

Testing & Technical Analysis

Where needed, we use appropriate NDT and analysis methods to evaluate material condition and structural behaviour.

04

Report & Recommendations

You receive findings, risk priorities and practical remedial measures to help plan repairs, retrofitting or maintenance.

Structures we assess

  • Existing and new buildings
  • Warehouses and industrial facilities
  • Commercial and residential buildings
  • Hospitals, hotels and institutional facilities
  • Platforms, gantries and supporting structures
  • Site-specific civil infrastructure

What influences audit cost?

We provide a fixed-fee proposal once we understand the structure and inspection requirements.

  • Building size, height and number of floors
  • Age, condition and visible signs of distress
  • Availability of drawings and maintenance history
  • Access requirements and operational constraints
  • Extent of material or non-destructive testing required
  • Requirement for load testing or seismic assessment
