For repairs of structural members, we make use of modern techniques & high performance materials.
Specialized chemical treatment is done at required places.
We conduct proper diagnosis & apply appropriate material for water proofing of baths, kitchen & roofs.
We arrange post repair visits to monitor performance of the repairs done.
Repairs are executed by trained staff with state of art equipment to minimize disturbance
The existing buildings nearing its serviceability life and showing sign of breakdown does calls for technical intervention for enhancing their life and to avoid any accidental failure due to seismic event or other structural reason. The deterioration of the structures takes place due to weathering action, fire, natural calamities like earthquake, flood, soil & structure interaction, defects in construction and many more. Post the technical evaluation of such structures, the decision to repair or replace a structure or its component has to be taken. This has to be in compliance with economy, construction feasibility and as per latest trends and techniques. The approach towards rehabilitation of any building can be categorized in following steps and actions.
Performing a Structural Audit of the building.
Evaluating various retrofitting options, materials, feasibility & economy.
Performing Structural calculations and capacity demand ratio for Structural members.
Suggesting retrofitting/ Construction system and getting the rehabilitation of the building done.
Post retrofitting tests on the building.
The engineering which involves in modifying the existing buildings for Structural behavior without hampering its basic intent of use is termed as Retrofitting. It becomes necessary to improve the performance of structures including those facing loss of strength due to deterioration or which have crossed their anticipated lifespan. The realization of retrofitting depends on the authentic cause and measures adopted to prevent its further deterioration. This development includes repair, retrofit, renovation and reconstruction wherever required. A proper load path has to be analyzed by a Structural engineer and a decision has to be taken if any additional member like shear walls etc needs to be added. The engineering analysis, design and construction of any necessary retrofitting must be carried out bearing in mind the following aspects:
1. Functionality aspect
2. Structural Safety aspect
3. Construction Methodology aspect
4. Economy aspect
5. Skilled Labor Availability
