  • Building Structural Integrity (BSI) refers to a thorough assessment of a building’s ability to safely carry all loads and withstand environmental conditions throughout its lifespan without failure.
  • It focuses on the main structural components, including columns, beams, slabs, and other load-bearing elements to ensure they are performing as designed and remain safe for continued use.
  • The assessment combines visual inspection with technical investigation methods, identifying signs of structural distress such as major cracks, uneven settlement, deflection, reinforcement corrosion, concrete spalling, and structural movement.
