Structural Inspection and Building Integrity
Structural problems announce themselves through cracks, deflection and water long before failure. This course covers inspecting structures, recognising what matters and deciding what needs engineering assessment.
Course outline
What this programme covers, module by module.
- 01What structural inspection can and cannot establish
- 02Systematic inspection method and recording
- 03Crack patterns and what each indicates

More in Maintenance, Reliability & Asset Management
Planned Preventive Maintenance
Reactive maintenance is the most expensive way to keep plant running. This course covers the design and running of a preventive maintenance programme: what to maintain, how often, and how to prove the programme is working.
Reliability Centred Maintenance
Reliability centred maintenance asks what each asset must do and what happens when it cannot, then selects maintenance accordingly. This course teaches the analysis method and how to apply it without drowning in paperwork.
Root Cause Failure Analysis
Equipment that fails repeatedly is usually being repaired rather than fixed. This course builds the investigative discipline to trace a failure to its physical, human and system roots and to implement corrections that hold.
