A structural audit is a detailed assessment of the physical integrity and safety of a building or structure. The purpose of a structural audit is to identify any defects, damages, or weaknesses in the structure that may pose a threat to the safety of the occupants or the public.
The audit typically involves a visual inspection of the building or structure, as well as non-destructive testing, which may include ultrasound, x-ray, or other methods to assess the internal condition of the structure. The structural audit may also include a review of the building’s design and construction documents, as well as its maintenance history.
