Modern infrastructure demands high standards of structural integrity, safety, and performance across all stages of construction and maintenance. In an era where infrastructure deterioration, material fatigue, and environmental factors increasingly affect structural lifespan, quality assurance (QA) and structural condition assessment have become essential disciplines within civil and structural engineering. According to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), over 42% of bridges in the U.S. are over 50 years old, and nearly 8% are considered structurally deficient, highlighting the urgent need for systematic evaluation and maintenance strategies. Furthermore, a 2022 McKinsey report estimated that up to 30% of total project costs in construction can be attributed to rework and quality failures—making early QA and condition assessment a critical investment.
This specialized training program—Structural Quality Control and Condition Assessment—is a comprehensive blend of two key technical areas: Quality Assurance in Concrete and Steel Structures and Structural Condition Assessment for Existing Buildings. It equips participants with a complete understanding of material specifications, construction quality protocols, inspection techniques, and assessment strategies for reinforced concrete, steel, masonry, and wood structures.
Participants will explore QA/QC procedures and internationally recognized standards such as ISO 9001 and TQM frameworks. Emphasis will be placed on understanding welding quality, reinforcement integrity, and the impact of temperature and environmental conditions during construction. The course also delves deeply into destructive and non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques, providing insights into their application for evaluating structural soundness, detecting corrosion, and assessing structural components without compromising their integrity.
A unique focus is placed on diagnosing structural deterioration using condition surveys, statistical evaluation methods, and NDT tools such as ultrasonic testing, rebound hammer, radiographic inspection, magnetic particle testing, and more. Key highlights of the training include:
Evaluating the quality of concrete and steel structures using industry-aligned QA/QC techniques
Understanding the relationship between material properties and long-term structural performance
Identifying structural damage through advanced non-destructive test methods
Applying statistical analysis to interpret test data and improve decision-making
Planning and conducting effective condition surveys for existing buildings and infrastructure
This integrated program enhances both design and diagnostic competencies, empowering professionals to ensure durability, compliance, and safety across the structure’s lifecycle.
