How can you
enhance the life of your buildings? Get the eagle eye to test structural strength
Vision without action is merely a dream.
Action without vision just passes the time.
Vision with action can change the world. -Joel A. Barker
If we could enhance the safety, quality, durability of a building, these incidents would rarely happen Between 2001 & 2015, an average of 7* people died per day in Collapse of Structures (NCRB 2015) Enhancing the life of the building is like enhancing human life. Nutritionists, doctors and ďŹ tness gurus will speak about regular health check-ups. But are there health checks for buildings? Can we see beyond what is visible and assess their inner strength? Is there a CT-Scan or an MRI for buildings? The answer is yes. Cyond - the Structural Diagnostics company.
Driven by Our vision is to help enhance the life of structures by three times through the application of data-driven metrics. Our mission is to enable Structural Engineers, Infrastructure Companies, Contractors & Developers to see beyond, and take the right decisions through our unique structural diagnostics reports, enabling them to build safe structures with enhanced structural quality and durability. Our promise to the planet is to help optimize structural material consumption and be at the forefront of driving a greener global construction footprint. Perhaps, Cyond is the only company in the world that integrates structural diagnostic ratings with technology-based updates in real time. The values that we believe in are Safety, Quality and Durability.

Preventive Structural Safety Audit for Structures If a building collapses or even develops quality issues, imagine the damage it could do to your business and your brand?

Reality Check It takes years to build your business reputation. One faulty column or project can destroy this. In this age of social media, we just cannot afford negative remarks. If your project develops cracks and fissures, it can mar the hundreds of other good things you do. Building collapse leads to a loss of human lives, massive damage and it can make your business come to a standstill.
It is a fact that as far as structures go, there are many blind spots because you cannot see the strength of structural element that you build. As a Builder/Contractor, you endeavour to deliver the best quality, but there are many variable things as below onsite that you possibly cannot monitor 24X7. i. Is the concrete used of the right quality? ii. Is the honeycomb that we commonly see on structural element is it deep or surface? iii. What is the guarantee that proper curing is happening on a daily basis, for the desired time? iv. Can we rely on the skill of the people involved, and the consistent application of that skill, all the time? v. Is the M30 grade of concrete poured, M30 in strength in each structural element? We help uncover the above blind spots. Mistakes happen all the time but if detected in time, it can save you money, time, effort, social embarrassment and having to engage in legal issues. Cyond detects these blind spots for you. We use technologies that give you regular quality updates as your project is taking shape, so that you can take remedial action. As doctors are assisted by diagnostic reports, Structural Diagnostic reports enable the engineers and the client to see beyond the surface, and ensure that every structural member achieves the designed material strength and consistency. Which means, no more blind spots. A simple cost benefit analysis will show you that our pricing is a miniscule fraction of the immense benefit we offer.

Structural Scan for Old Buildings Is your building 15 years old or above? If so, is it fit to carry the same load as before?
Old Buildings Imagine a 70-year old man being made to lift huge weights, tough to even imagine it, right? However this is exactly what happens to old buildings. They are often made to carry much larger load than was perhaps originally intended. Additionally, like people lose strength with age, environmental wear and tear can make buildings become dilapidated and distressed. Structural elements affected by dampness followed by corrosion, degrade in strength from an order of 10% to 80%! Also with various other environmental factors, there is a good chance that the structural members might get degraded in their load carrying capacity. The solution to this critical problem is Cyond's Structural Scan for Old Buildings. We enable the Structural Engineer through material diagnosis reports at desired locations as required by the engineers.
Structural Visual Audit How do we ensure that our hard earned money spent on home last long When our Home Loan EMI ends in just two decades, will our home be decrepit and dilapidated?
When we buy a car, we get it serviced regularly. Our homes cost multiple times more but we do not even get an annual check-up done. Our Apartments, Villas, Bridges, Dams and Infrastructure experience tremendous wear and tear. Regular check-ups reduce cost implications significantly, improving the durability and safety of the structure. Structural visual audits are for newly constructed homes, factories and infrastructure which are 2 years old and above. At Cyond, the diagnosis is like a simple surface scan. A Visual Audit will give you alerts that can help you seek professional help on time. Remember the old adage: a stitch in time saves nine. This service is a must for Apartment Societies, Gated Communities and Business Establishments. It's like a Term Insurance Plan for your buildings. Its cost is minimal and it saves you a lot.
Structural Health Monitoring Imagine if bridges and Infrastructure could speak whenever they fell ill? We use a thermometer to find out the fever raging within us. If only buildings could talk‌
By using sensors in the building, we can enable buildings to talk, and to alert us when they get weak or unwell. We turn Structural Engineers into building doctors by providing them with real-time data and pre-set alarm systems, which alert them well before structural collapse. Result: No infrastructure damage. No loss to human lives. These are like Health Alerts that allow Structural Engineers, Infrastructure Companies, Owners and ultimately all Stakeholders to breathe easy.
Structural Rating Cyond is the pioneer in bringing quantification of quality, durability and safety of structures. Will the homes we lovingly buy become dilapidated structures for the next generation? In just a few decades, will our bridges and infrastructure need to be rebuilt? What a waste of resources! This can all be avoided through the simple process of Cyond’s Structural Durability Rating.
What gets measured gets done. In today's hyper-competitive world, buildings, such as homes, bridges and infra projects, have to be built at a rapid pace. As time-cycles grow shorter, the risks go up proportionately. We need a reliable dashboard, strong quantitative and qualitative metrics that enable us to see beyond the visible structures by which we get alerted by the potential structural risks. Cyond’s Structural Durability Rating’s predictive analysis can tell you how strong your buildings are deep within. Our solutions deliver phenomenal price/Value ratios and above all… peace of mind.
Brand Story Our brand story can be summed up in just 3 words: We See Beyond. Our Brand Mnemonic is the Eagle. The eagle’s eyesight is among the strongest in the animal kingdom, with an eyesight estimated at 4 to 8 times stronger than that of the average human. An eagle is said to be able to spot a rabbit 3.2 km away. By giving you that X-Ray vision, we enable you to be a leader, like the graceful eagle.
