We investigate corrosion, cracked welds, insufficient capacity, changed loads and seismic deficiencies in industrial buildings, long-span steel structures, space frames and steel platforms. Services connect assessment, design, construction and monitoring. Depending on the findings, techniques may include additional steel sections or plates, supplementary bracing, crack repair, prestressing and corrosion-protection measures to improve capacity, overall stability and service life.
The method and implementation conditions are determined through investigation, design and the project-specific engineering scheme.
What to establish before discussing a project
Describe the existing condition, the problem to be resolved, intended use and construction constraints. Drawings, investigation results and site information then inform the engineering approach. Scope, implementation conditions and deliverables are defined in the project agreement.
Information to prepare
- Steel structure design and as-built drawings
