BQCIS

Assuring Structural Soundness and Compliance

BQCIS conducts comprehensive Structural Integrity Assessments to confirm that buildings, bridges, plants, and other load-bearing structures meet their design intent, safety codes, and performance expectations.

Our engineers and certified inspectors apply international standards such as ISO 13822, ASME, and EN 1090 to evaluate the physical condition, material strength, and workmanship quality of new or existing structures. This ensures your assets remain safe, reliable, and compliant with national and global regulations.

Our Structural Integrity Assessment Process

Design Review & Documentation Verification

Evaluate structural drawings, load calculations, and materials specifications to ensure design adequacy and code compliance.

Material Testing & Sampling

Perform laboratory and on-site material testing for steel, concrete, and composite structures to confirm strength and durability.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

Apply ultrasonic, magnetic particle, and radiographic inspection methods to detect hidden flaws without damaging the structure.

Welding & Joint Evaluation

Inspect welded joints and connections for integrity and conformity to AWS D1.1, ISO 3834, or project specifications.

Load Testing & Simulation

Conduct controlled load tests and computer-based stress simulations to verify real-world performance under critical conditions.

Corrosion & Fatigue Analysis

Assess corrosion levels, fatigue behavior, and environmental exposure factors that could affect the structure’s lifespan.

Remedial & Strengthening Recommendations

Provide expert engineering advice on repair, retrofitting, or reinforcement strategies for aging or damaged assets.

Certification & Reporting

Deliver comprehensive reports including inspection results, risk ratings, and conformity certificates for regulatory or client submission.

Fitness-for-Service (FFS) Assessment

Quantitative engineering evaluation to determine if equipment with flaws is safe and reliable to continue operating.

Success Story

BQCIS Structural Audit Prevents Bridge Collapse Risk

The Challenge:

A regional authority in Asia suspected internal cracking in a 30-year-old highway bridge but lacked accurate structural data to plan repairs.

Our Solution:

BQCIS deployed NDT engineers to conduct ultrasonic and rebound hammer testing, combined with finite element simulation to assess fatigue stress points.

The Result:

Critical weaknesses were identified and reinforced within 45 days, extending the bridge’s service life by an estimated 15 years and avoiding potential collapse.
