Advanced Fawasil's Assessment of Existing Structures Department: Ensuring Structural Integrity and Longevity

Advanced Fawasil's Structural Assessment Department plays a vital role in evaluating the safety, performance, and lifespan of existing buildings and infrastructure. We recognize that structures are exposed to various factors over time—such as aging, environmental conditions, changes in use, and unforeseen events—that can affect their integrity.

Through a combination of advanced technologies, engineering expertise, detailed analysis, our department delivers thorough assessments and practical solutions. This enables our clients to ensure ongoing structural safety, maintain functionality, and make informed decisions that protect and maximize their investments.

Wide Range of Engineering Services
We offer a diverse range of engineering services tailored to the specific needs of each structure:

01. Preparation and Verification of Structural As-Built Drawings:

We meticulously document the existing conditions of a structure, creating accurate as-built drawings that serve as a valuable reference for future renovations, modifications, or maintenance. This ensures that any future work is carried out with a clear understanding of the structure's current state.

02. Building Settlement Studies:

We investigate and analyze the causes and extent of building settlement, providing recommendations for remediation and preventive measures. This helps to address potential safety concerns and ensure the long-term stability of the structure.

03. Adding Additional Floors or Loads to an Existing Building:

We assess the structural capacity of existing buildings to accommodate additional floors or loads, ensuring that any modifications are carried out safely and in compliance with building codes. This allows for the expansion or repurposing of existing structures without compromising their structural integrity.

04. Strengthening Solutions:

We design and implement strengthening solutions to enhance the load-carrying capacity and durability of existing structures, extending their service life and improving their resilience to various loads and environmental conditions. This can be a cost-effective alternative to demolition and reconstruction, while also preserving the historical or architectural value of a building.

05. Integrity Testing:

We conduct non-destructive testing (NDT) to evaluate the integrity of structural elements, identifying any hidden defects or weaknesses that may compromise safety. This allows for targeted repairs and proactive maintenance, preventing costly and potentially dangerous structural failures.

06. 3D Void Detection in Concrete Elements:

We utilize advanced technologies like groundpenetrating radar (GPR) to detect voids, cracks, and other anomalies within concrete elements, enabling targeted repairs and preventive maintenance. This helps to maintain the structural integrity of concrete structures and extend their service life.

07. Onsite Strength Evolution:

We monitor the strength development of concrete and other materials in real-time, ensuring that they meet the required specifications and achieve their full potential. This provides valuable quality control data and helps to optimize construction processes.

08. Modeling and Analysis of Structures:

We utilize sophisticated software tools to create detailed models of structures and simulate their behavior under various loads and conditions. This allows us to assess their performance, identify potential vulnerabilities, and design effective solutions.
