NYU Abu Dhabi Atrium Steelworks Assessment

A detailed investigation was carried out on the atrium steelwork, soffits, and selected landscape areas at NYU Abu Dhabi. The assessment identified coating failure, failed sealants, cracks, efflorescence, localized corrosion, and water ingress at several locations. Testing included ultrasonic thickness (UT), UPV, DFT, coating pull-off testing, borescope inspection, and excavation trial pit investigation. The steelwork was generally found to be in good condition, but coating adhesion and waterproofing deficiencies required remedial work to restore protection and prevent further deterioration.
