Structural reinforcement and solutions

We assess defects, changes of use and proposed interventions to define a calculated, documented and buildable structural response.

OutcomeTechnically defined intervention

When it is appropriate

The right response for the project’s current stage.

  • When cracks, deformation, corrosion, settlement or other signs require assessment.
  • When demolition, new openings, extensions or changes of use are proposed.
  • When a structure requires increased capacity or correction of defective construction.
  • When analysis, detailing and the construction sequence of reinforcement must be coordinated.

Scope

What we can include.

Every intervention begins with an assessment and the level of information that can be obtained from the existing structure.

  1. Inspection, survey and record of available background information and observable symptoms.
  2. Definition of opening-up works, testing or complementary studies when required.
  3. Structural analysis and calculations by a qualified professional.
  4. Reinforcement, repair or replacement design with construction details.
  5. Planning of shoring, sequences and critical controls.
  6. Construction or technical management of the intervention, as commissioned.

Process

A clear work sequence.

01

Assessment

We document the situation, background, damage and observable safety conditions.

02

Verification

We define studies and checks required to substantiate the solution.

03

Design

We calculate, document and coordinate the proposed intervention.

04

Execution

We implement or supervise the sequence with the defined safeguards.

Deliverables

Concrete information to make decisions and move forward.

A visual inspection does not replace testing, opening-up works or calculations when required. If an immediate risk exists, use or work must stop and an urgent on-site assessment by qualified professionals must be requested.

  • Inspection or assessment report according to scope.
  • Safety criteria and recommended preventive measures.
  • Structural calculation report and reinforcement drawings when applicable.
  • Details and construction sequence.
  • Record of commissioned controls or intervention closeout.
