Structural Defect Repairs
Identify, engineer, and remediate defects that compromise a building’s load-bearing capacity, stability, and safety, restoring full compliance with Australian Standards and extending the service life of the structure.

Structural defects are among the most critical issues in any building, because they directly affect safety, compliance, and long-term performance. Left unchecked, they can result in catastrophic failures, significant liability, and costly emergency works. These defects can be caused by original construction errors, material degradation, design flaws, water ingress, or overloading.

At Atomic Projects, our approach to structural defect repairs combines forensic-level investigation with engineer-certified solutions.

1. Investigation & Diagnosis

We begin with a detailed structural survey, often working alongside remedial engineers. This includes:

  • Non-destructive testing (NDT) such as ground-penetrating radar, ultrasonic pulse velocity, or rebar scanning to map reinforcement and detect voids.
  • Crack monitoring and deflection measurements to assess movement.
  • Material sampling for compressive strength and carbonation testing.

2. Engineering the Solution

Based on the defect’s cause and severity, we prepare a remedial strategy, which may include:

  • Concrete Beam or Slab Strengthening using carbon fibre reinforcement or steel plate bonding.
  • Column Jacketing for increased load capacity or corrosion protection.
  • Load Redistribution through the introduction of new support members.
  • Footing Underpinning where foundation settlement is contributing to instability.

3. Precision Execution

Our site teams execute the works with the same discipline used in Tier 1 construction environments:

  • Controlled demolition of damaged elements.
  • Installation of reinforcement systems as per engineering specifications.
  • High-strength repair mortars or epoxy bonding agents for structural reinstatement.
  • Corrosion mitigation treatments to prevent future degradation.

4. Compliance & Verification

All works are verified through on-site inspections, testing, and certification by a registered structural engineer. Final reports are issued for record-keeping and insurance purposes.

By combining technical accuracy, specialist equipment, and multi-trade integration, our structural defect repair process restores a building’s integrity while minimising disruption to occupants.
