There are many organizations to offer building inspection by a building inspector however the service we provide to building structural inspection/Crack inspection is second to none. In Fusion, we not only specify cracks on our report, we provide expert opinion as all the inspections are conducted by a qualified engineer not a builder/building surveyor. The engineers identify structural defects including but not limited to settlement and heave of the foundation, unstable walls, defective structural members/products etc.

Crack Inspection Analysis:

• For ensuring the safe operation of damaged or cracked tolerant structure, inspection schedule are devised. They are based on many criteria, including:
• assumed damaged or cracked condition of the structure
• Stresses in the structure that cause crack growth from the damaged condition
• geometry of the material which intensifies or reduces stress on the crack tip
• ability of the material to withstand cracking due to stresses in the expected environment
• Largest crack size that the structure can endure before catastrophic failure
• likelihood that a particular inspection method will reveal a crack
• acceptable level of risk that a certain structure will be completely failed
• expected duration after manufacture until a detectable crack will form
• assumptions of failure in adjacent components which may have the effect of changing stresses in the structure of interest

Types of Cracks:

• Structural Crack: These cracks results from incorrect design, faulty construction or overloading and these may endanger the safety of a building and their inmates.
• Non Structural Cracks: Non Structural cracks occur mostly due to internally induced stresses in building materials. These cracks normally do not endanger the safety but may look unsightly, create an impression of faulty work or give a feeling of instability.

We provide following services:

• Residential cracks inspection and report
• Dilapidation report
• Building structural report
• Building condition assessment report
• Structural health monitoring
