Inspection & Assessment for Industry, Energy & Mining Infrastructure

Know the risks before they disrupt operations

Industrial and energy assets often operate under extreme conditions, and even minor structural deterioration can lead to costly disruptions or safety risks. Early and accurate diagnostics are key to ensure reliable performance and maintain compliance.

VSL helps owners and operators understand the condition of their structures and plan timely, cost-effective interventions. We combine in-field experience with advanced technologies to deliver structural insights that support better decisions.

Our inspection & assessment services

We provide tailored structural assessment services for concrete, steel, and hybrid industrial structures:

Surface condition evaluation, including anchor zones, structural connections, and corrosion mapping.

Techniques such as impact echo, ultrasonic pulse velocity, GPR scanning, and half-cell potential.

Design and installation of sensors to monitor temperature gradients, deformations, and vibrations.

Controlled testing to assess current capacity and validate structural behavior under operation.

Mapping, measuring, and analyzing deterioration patterns to support engineering decisions.
