Buildings are meant to stand for decades but user requirements are ever evolving. At Strufocon Engineers, we offer our expertise in strengthening your structures for utility change and repair, with least architectural impact. Structural strengthening is the process of upgrading structures to improve performance under existing loads or to increase the strength of structural members to carry additional loads. This involves analysing the size, location, environment, force characteristics, load conditions and concrete conditions of the members themselves. In addition, external constraints such as the cost of reconstruction and strengthening and the construction site must also be considered to comprehensively select the strengthening method.
Seismic strengthening comprises technical interventions in the structural system of a building that improves its seismic resistance by increasing the strength, stiffness and/or ductility. We can assist you in safely introducing novel construction materials such as textile reinforcements that offer best value to your needs.
