ANNEX A – CHECKLISTA FOR PERIODIC STRUCTURAL INSPECTION OF EXISTING BUILDING

AT
<Building Address>
Please tick Y or N/A, which are defined below, accordingly for all checklist items:
Y – Yes, I declare that I have checked and addressed the item in my report
N/A – Not applicable, I declare that I have checked and found the item to be not applicable (i.e. does not e

Y NA
1.
Structural System of the Building:
a) Reference to structural layout plans and details

b) Description of foundation system

c) Description of structural system (including storey height)


d) Location of critical floor systems (e.g. flat slab, flat plate or pre-stressed slab
etc.), if any

2. Special and Critical Structures B:


a) Signs of distress, cracks, deformation or corrosion

3. Structures without Redundancies C:


a)
Signs of distress, cracks, deformation or corrosion

4. Concealed Key Structural Elements And Connection Systems Of Prefabricated Prefinished


Volumetric Construction (PPVC) Constructed Buildings:

a) Reference to approved structural plans for location and detail of inspection access points
b) Signs of distress, deformation or corrosion on concealed structural elements and
connection systems
A
This checklist is to be included in the inspection report.
B
Examples of special and critical structures are transfer girders/ beams/ trusses, small / slender
columns, long span structures, cable structures, inclined columns, etc.
C
Examples of structures without redundancies are cantilever structures, cantilever structures without
backspan, cantilever balconies exposed to elements, tension columns, hanging/suspended
Y NA
5 Timber structures (including Mass Engineered Timber):
a) Signs of biological damage or decay (e.g. termite attack or fungus growth, etc.)
b) Signs of deterioration (e.g. creep deformation, delamination, cracks, etc.)

Areas prone to water leakage, accumulation of water that can result in ingress
c) of water (e.g. end cap protection remain intact and water tight, waterproofing is still effective)

d)Increase in moisture content beyond code and specialist recommendations checked using devices
such as moisture meters and scanners.
Need for inspection and testing by a specialist (e.g. anti-termite, timber specialist, etc.)
e)

6. Survey of Loading:
a) Compatibility of existing usage with the design loading

Deviation from intended use or supporting higher imposed load as recommended


b) in the design codes (e.g. CP3, BS 6399 or SS EN 1991 and the relevant national annexes)

c) Signs of distress or deformation due to overloading (to show affected location(s) on


plan)

7 Unauthorised WorksD:
a) Presence of unauthorised works (to show locations on plan)
b) Impact of unauthorised works on the building structure
c) Record of previous strengthening works without Approved Plans.
d) Additional unauthorised floor within a high volume/headroom space
8 Signs of structural defects and deterioration:
a) Building tilt/ settlement

b) Structural deformation
c) Major structural defects (e.g. structural cracks, decayed timber member, etc.)
d) Minor structural defects (e.g. minor corrosion and minor spalling, etc.)
e) Non-structural defects
D
Examples of slope protection structures are soil nails, ground anchors, shotcrete slope, etc.

Y NA
9 Exposure to aggressive environment:
a) Column immersed in water (e.g. ground floor water tank, seawater, lakes, etc.)
b) Aggressive chemicals or other similar substances which may accelerate the deterioration
of structural elements, particularly in industrial buildings

10. Slope, Retaining Walls And Slope Protection Structures E:


a) Signs of slope erosion
b) Defects of retaining wall and other slope protection structures (e.g. cracks, tilt, displacement,
etc.)
c) Signs of undesirable condition surrounding retaining wall (e.g. tension cracks in soil, choked
weephole(s), presence of big trees nearby, inadequate surface drainage etc.)

11 Safety Barriers (i.e. parapets & railings):


a) Any signs of structural defect, deformation or deterioration

b) Any continuous handrail for full glass barriers

12 Other Surveys Or Checks Carried Out

Presence of heavy suspended fixtures (e.g. thick cement plaster, large cement-based
a) or gypsum board over) in crowded locations, such as food courts, atrium,
waiting/seating areas
b) Records of and comments on any known maintenance problems and previous rectification
carried out on the building structure.

13 Inspection Coverage
a) Summarised list of units inspected
 Percentage of units inspected: %
b) At least 30% of cladded columns F are exposed for inspection
 Percentage of cladded columns F exposed: %
c) Suspended ceiling accessed points are indicated on a structural/building layout plan

d) Justification of inspection coverage


E
Evidence of any structural works that are or were carried out without any prior approval of the plans
of those works where prior approval is required by Part 2 of the Building Control Act
F
Columns concealed behind architectural finishes with air gaps between the column face and
the finishes. It excludes those columns concealed with materials adhered fully to the column face, i.e.
tiles, plaster, wallpaper
