Webinar - Building Assessment: From Defects to Decisions
Time (Local): KSA 11:00 AM | UAE 12:00 PM
Join our upcoming webinar hosted by SOCOTEC experts on building assessment: From Defects to Decision
Buildings, like all engineered systems, deteriorate over time due to environmental exposure, material aging, design and construction defects, as well as changes in usage.
Understanding how to properly assess existing buildings is essential to ensure safety, serviceability, and durability, while enabling informed decisions regarding repair, rehabilitation, or continued operation.
This webinar provides a comprehensive overview of the building assessment process, from initial visual inspections to advanced non-destructive and destructive testing techniques. It highlights how defects develop, how they are investigated, and how engineers determine whether issues are cosmetic, durability-related, or structural in nature.
Real case studies will be presented, including water leakage investigations and cracking assessments, to demonstrate how building assessment is performed in practice and how testing results are used to reach engineering conclusions.
