The condition of the ceiling is a major cause of concern as it is prone to falling and injuring the people seriously occupying the space. A chunk of concrete falling from a height of 3 meters (10 feet), weighing a few kgs, can have potentially fatal consequences. 

​

As the reinforcement gets corroded, it pushes the concrete in an outward direction. With a thin cover concrete (the space between the concrete surface and rebar), the chances of concrete falling off the ceiling increase exponentially with corrosion.

​

The primary reason for corrosion acceleration is age, carbonation and leakages. 

​

Aaryan has a unique method to conduct ceiling audits for exposed ceilings and the ones that are covered with false ceilings to ensure the safety of the occupants. this includes visual inspection and special acoustic instruments to assess hard-to-reach areas. At times, co-relation with thermal inspection is also done. 

 

We recommend that ceiling audits be done near all wet areas, common areas and areas prone to leakages.  Buildings that are old, are also in urgent need of ceiling audits as a chunk of concrete could fall on someones head anytime.
