Assessment Service

Inspection & Structural Assessment

Detailed condition assessments, load rating evaluations, and forensic investigations for existing structures across the UAE and Gulf region.

When an existing structure is being extended, re-purposed, sold, or showing signs of distress, the question is always the same: is it safe, and for how long? ESG provides independent, evidence-based inspection and assessment services that give owners, insurers and buyers a clear, defensible answer — backed by field data, structural analysis and practical recommendations.

Capabilities

What We Deliver

Detailed Visual Inspection

Systematic element-by-element inspection to recognised standards, fully photographed and mapped, with defect quantification and severity rating.

Non-Destructive Testing

Rebar location and cover survey (GPR, ferroscan), concrete core and carbonation testing, chloride profiling, half-cell potential, rebound hammer and ultrasonic pulse velocity.

Load Rating & Capacity Check

Analytical re-assessment of existing structures against current code loads — bridges, mezzanines, slabs and roof structures — with recommendations for restriction, strengthening or unrestricted use.

Forensic Investigation

Root-cause investigation of cracking, settlement, deflection, corrosion and other observed distress. Structured reporting suitable for insurance, legal and authority submissions.

Pre-Purchase & Due Diligence

Structural due diligence reports for property acquisitions, with a clear summary of material risks, remediation cost indications and ongoing liability exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers from our engineering team

Common questions we receive on this service. If your question is not answered below, our team is happy to discuss it directly.

What types of inspections does ESG offer?
Principal (detailed), general (visual), and special (post-event) inspections — for buildings, bridges, marine structures, and industrial facilities. Each inspection produces a graded condition report with photo evidence.
Do you carry out post-incident structural assessments?
Yes. After fire, impact, flood, or seismic events we conduct rapid damage assessment, structural capacity verification, and recommendations for occupancy reinstatement or temporary support.
Can you assess capacity for change-of-use?
Yes. We verify structural capacity for new loading scenarios — additional storeys, plant rooms, change of occupancy class — and provide a compliance statement and any required strengthening design.
Does ESG use non-destructive testing (NDT)?
Yes. We coordinate rebound hammer, UPV, half-cell, ground-penetrating radar, ferroscan, and core sampling — interpretation is done in-house by our chartered engineers.
