The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) provides structural evaluation and load testing to determine the load-carrying capacity of commercial buildings and facility structures under static, dynamic, or cyclic conditions. During structural evaluation and load testing, we apply physical loads to structural assets or building components and monitor their response. Clients rely on our structural engineering services to confirm compliance with industry requirements and safety standards, reduce operational risks, and improve long-term asset reliability and service life.

Verifying Structural Integrity and Load-Bearing Capacity

At ATS, we use load testing to assess commercial building structures during new construction, renovations, change-of-use projects, and damage investigations. From initial development through long-term asset management, our engineers collaborate with architects to test and design structures that meet stakeholder requirements. Throughout each project, we coordinate with all parties, address issues quickly, and deliver practical solutions to keep projects on schedule.

Our comprehensive structural evaluations and engineering services include:

  • On-Site Load Testing
  • Vibration Analysis
  • Forensic Investigation
  • Corrosion, Cracking, Deterioration Assessments
  • Evaluations on Construction Deficiencies

Why is Structural Load Testing Important for Building Safety?

Structural load testing confirms that a building can safely support its intended loads by assessing system performance under controlled conditions. Our reports identify weaknesses, validate repairs or modifications, confirm load-bearing capacity, and reduce failure risk, helping to ensure buildings remain safe, reliable, and compliant with IBC, ASCE 7, ACI 437, ACI 318, and AISC standards.

What Kinds of Building Components Typically Require Structural Evaluation and Load Testing?

For commercial buildings and other infrastructure, structural evaluation and load testing is commonly performed on:

  • Floors and Elevated Slabs
  • Roof Structures
  • Exterior Walls
  • Parking Decks
  • Walkways
  • Equipment Platforms
  • Anchor Systems
  • Façade Access Systems
  • Structural Steel Framing
  • Industrial Facilities
  • Scaffolding and Shoring
  • Beams, Columns, and Load-Bearing Walls
  • Structural Support Systems
  • Load-Bearing Walls

Processes Built on Partnership
