Structural asset condition audit | SCA
Industrial installations remain safe and operational through targeted inspections and periodic audits. Structural condition assessments provide an objective view of corrosion, structural defects and fall protection shortcomings in ladders, platforms and building components, before they lead to disruption.
Control Union performs these assessments with inspectors experienced in demanding production environments, focusing on early risk identification to support personnel safety, business continuity and asset integrity.
Proven expertise in rigorous standards
Control Union applies experience from the oil & gas sector, where safety standards are well established. Assessments follow recognised methodologies such as SEI/ASCE 11-99 and NEN 2767 condition measurement, alongside national and company-specific requirements. This enables a consistent approach across multiple locations.
The focus is on fixed structural components, including steel structures, walkways, stairs, platforms, handrails, silos, and issues such as corrosion, wear and deformation. The scope is limited to structural integrity and safety, excluding loose work equipment or periodic certification activities.
Safe and reliable operations with SCA
Independent, multi-sensory inspection
Inspectors apply observation, touch, hearing and smell to identify structural degradation that may not be visible during routine checks.
Non-destructive testing when required
Techniques such as ultrasonic wall thickness measurement and phased array testing help detect hidden material loss, providing a factual basis for maintenance decisions.
Objective and independent reporting
Control Union operates independently from insurers and maintenance providers. Findings are evidence-based and suitable for audits and compliance reviews.
Multi-skilled inspection teams
Certified inspectors cover multiple disciplines in a single visit, helping to limit site disruption and reduce the need for repeated mobilisation.
Assessment programmes aligned with client needs
Each programme is defined in collaboration with the client, including scope, priorities and inspection frequency based on asset type and risk profile.
