Veritas Structures capability

Structural inspection software

Record structural defects in the field with structured severity, location context and photo evidence that flows straight into the inspection record and asset register.

Structural inspection software is the field entry point for Veritas Structures. Inspectors and technicians record each finding against the active inspection with classification fields, severity and risk signals, location context and photo evidence while they are still at the element or accessible inspection point.

The intent is simple: stop translating handwritten notes and phone-camera folders into spreadsheets after demobilisation. Capture once, in the structure the register, report and engineering review pathways already expect.

Because every finding is tied to the inspection and asset context, later report generation, recurring programmes and engineering review start from the same evidence set rather than a reconstructed narrative.

The problem this solves

Traditional structural inspections often leave the critical evidence trail fragmented. Photos sit in camera rolls, notes sit in notebooks, and location context is reconstructed days later when memory has already faded.

That reconstruction cost shows up as slower reporting, weaker auditability and more dispute risk when owners, engineers or insurers ask where a defect sits and how severe it was judged to be on the day.

Workflow narrative

  1. 1. Open the inspection on device

    Select the active structural inspection and confirm asset, level or element context before recording findings.

  2. 2. Classify the finding

    Capture defect type, severity, risk and notes using the inspection taxonomy configured for the workspace.

  3. 3. Attach evidence

    Add photos and location cues such as level, zone, member reference or grid line while still on site.

  4. 4. Sync into the record

    Findings become part of the inspection dataset and structural asset register used for reporting and review.

Outcomes

  • Structured field findings instead of free-text reconstruction
  • Photo evidence linked to the defect, not orphaned in albums
  • Faster handoff from site capture to draft report
  • Clearer severity and location context for engineers and clients

Applicable standards

  • AS 3600:2018Concrete structures
  • AS 4100:2020Steel structures
  • Workspace taxonomyTenant-configured structural defect classifications

Limitations

Device connectivity

Offline behaviour depends on deployment configuration. Teams should confirm field sync expectations during onboarding.

Taxonomy quality

Capture quality still depends on a well-configured defect taxonomy and inspector training.

FAQ

Common questions

Does mobile capture replace a full condition report?
No. It feeds the inspection dataset that reporting workflows use. Professional report generation and any engineering review remain separate steps.
Can severity be standardised across teams?
Yes. Workspaces configure classification and severity fields so multiple inspectors record against the same structure.
Are photos required for every defect?
Photo evidence is strongly recommended and supported in the workflow. Exact mandatory rules can be set by operating procedure.
Is this only for concrete structures?
No. Any authorised inspector working a structural inspection can use the capture flow for concrete, steel, masonry and composite systems configured in the workspace.
