Overview

Veritas Structures is the structural-engineering discipline of the Veritas Inspect platform. It covers structural investigations and structural condition assessments, supported by root-cause analysis, materials testing, durability assessment, and as-built documentation.

Where Veritas Facade looks at the envelope, Veritas Structures looks at the load path: concrete, reinforcement, steelwork, connections, and the mechanisms behind cracking, deflection, corrosion, and spalling. Every assessment, test result, and as-built drawing is anchored to the Veritas Ledger as part of the asset record.

What Veritas Structures covers

Structural Investigation

When something is wrong with the structure, we find out why, and we prove it with evidence that stays on the record.

Learn more

Structural Condition Assessment

A systematic grading of your structure against design and standards, with a defect register and a remaining-life view you can budget from.

Learn more

Root Cause Analysis

The diagnosis behind the defect: why it happened, what is contributing, and what actually fixes it.

Learn more

Materials Testing

The hard data behind every structural finding: strength, chemistry, and corrosion, measured and recorded permanently.

Learn more

Durability Assessment

How long the structure will last, what is driving deterioration, and what protection extends its service life.

Learn more

As-Built Documentation

A reliable, current record of what is actually built, for structures where the drawings are missing, wrong, or out of date.

FAQ

Structures questions, answered

What is the difference between a structural investigation and a condition assessment?
A structural condition assessment is a systematic grading of the structure against its design intent and relevant standards, producing a defect register and remaining-life view. A structural investigation is targeted: it is commissioned when something specific is wrong, such as cracking, deflection, or corrosion, and it determines the root cause and the rectification options. Both are sub-types within Veritas Structures and share one permanent record.
Do you cover both concrete and steel structures?
Yes. Veritas Structures assesses reinforced and post-tensioned concrete, structural steel, composite, and masonry load-bearing systems. Assessments reference AS 3600 for concrete, AS 4100 for steel, and the AS 1170 series for design actions, alongside EN 1504 and HB 84 for concrete repair and protection.
What testing supports a structural assessment?
Depending on the brief: concrete cover and carbonation testing, half-cell potential and corrosion-rate surveys, core sampling and compressive-strength testing, chloride-ion profiling, GPR scanning for reinforcement, and steel section-loss measurement. Results are logged as materials-testing reports and anchored to the Veritas Ledger alongside the assessment they support.

Other Disciplines

Veritas Facade

Facade audits, building-envelope assessments, and condition reports captured in 3D and anchored for the life of the asset.

Veritas MEP

Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing servicing, with UPS and CRAC as core sub-types, captured as a permanent maintenance register on the Veritas Ledger.
