COURSE INTRODUCTION
This programme develops a systematic approach to assessing the condition of existing building structures. Participants learn to plan condition surveys, recognise defects and deterioration, select destructive and non-destructive tests, interpret findings and develop practical recommendations for repair, rehabilitation and monitoring. Practical examples and guided discussion help participants connect the subject to decisions and challenges in their own workplace.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of this programme, participants should be able to:
- Explain the core concepts, terminology and working principles related to Structural Condition Assessment of Existing Building Structures.
- Apply structured methods and industry good practices for Introduction to Structural Condition Assessment, Condition Survey, and Semi-Destructive & Non-Destructive Testing.
- Evaluate relevant facilities & building situations and identify risks, gaps and improvement opportunities.
- Translate the learning into practical workplace actions and sound technical decisions.
COURSE OUTCOME
Upon completion, participants will be better prepared to:
- Assess relevant workplace situations using the concepts and methods covered in Structural Condition Assessment of Existing Building Structures.
- Select and apply appropriate tools, checks or controls for Introduction to Structural Condition Assessment, Condition Survey, and Semi-Destructive & Non-Destructive Testing.
- Recommend actions that support building performance, safe operations and effective maintenance decisions.
- Communicate findings, improvement opportunities and next steps clearly to relevant stakeholders.
