Re-strengthening or retrofitting of a building is required in case any deficiency found in structural integrity assessment (DEA report). It is the remedial approach to make the building safe for operation. Our accredited engineers will generate detailed drawing and analysis for retrofitting based on the DEA report. Our experienced team will also carry out the implementation based on drawing and analysis.
Why Retrofit is Needed
1. If the design has any flaws
2. If any indications of defects in the construction process are detected
3. In case the structure gets deteriorated or damaged
4. The structure is required to serve a new function
5. Required to support new loads
6. Architecture or a portion does not comply with the critical requirements of code
Outcome of Retrofit
1. Measures resulting in overall strengthening of the system
2. Actions for enhancing the stiffness of the system
3. Enhancing the deformational capacity of the load-resisting system
4. Increasing the energy-dissipation capacity of the structure
5. Measures resulting in reduced demand on the structure
What We Focus On
Let us take a look at what our experts focus on while delivering this service. First and foremost, we make sure of an efficient and integrated load path. Secondly, we prioritize the strengthening and stiffening of the structures. Consequently, we focus on the identification of any possible failure modes, increase in deformational capacity of sections and members, reduce force demands on sections and members, aesthetic considerations, the practicality of construction, cost considerations and Final Selection of Retrofit Scheme considers all factors.
