Dollar Industries (Pvt) Ltd. Has awarded a contract to Velosi Integrity & Safety Pakistan to perform Building Integrity and Remaining Life Assessment for Production and Office Building in SITE Area, Karachi, Pakistan.
The objective of the Integrity Assessment and Remaining Life Assessment is to assess and verify the current and future integrity of structures or structural components under normal and foreseeable operational conditions. It also evaluates the impact of any modifications or extensions that exceed the original design specifications. The remaining life of the structure is estimated to ensure its safe and efficient use for a certain period.
Velosi civil team will gather on-site data to prepare a topographic survey layout and as-built structural drawings. They will perform geotechnical investigation, non-destructive, destructive and chemical testing on structural members to evaluate the existing strength and condition of material. After collecting all the data through fieldwork, laboratory testing and data shared by client, 3D structural model will be generated with the help of as-built structural drawings using
Computer-based / simulation software to assess the structural performance under gravity and seismic loads, and the foundation under all load parameters and considerations. Evaluation and validation of remaining design life will be conducted on relevant software.
Finally, a report will be made based on the findings and software analysis, highlighting the defects and their remedial measures. The report will have recommendations on whether to repair or retrofit the structure.
