“ARE” was appointed SABIC, Jubail to investigate the existing Old Scrap Steel Structure. The elements inspected were columns, beams supporting crane rails, rail and exposed foundation
The work involved visual inspection, dynamic assessment of the beams supporting the rails, and static alignment survey. Calculations were also carried out to assess the adequacy of the structure according to the DIN standards. Following the investigation we prepared a report giving recommendations on how to prolong the life of the structure.
