2. Condition Assessment and Code Compliance Check

  • Condition Assessments: Comprehensive evaluations of existing buildings, combining visual inspections with structural performance analysis.
  • Code Compliance Reviews: Assessment of non-permitted structures against current building codes and regulatory standards.
  • Damage Assessments: Evaluation of structures affected by groundwater-induced corrosion, moisture ingress, and other environmental factors.
  • Landslide and Ground Movement Evaluations: Assessment of buildings impacted by slope instability and ground displacement.
  • Post-Disaster Evaluations: Rapid safety assessments to support emergency response, recovery planning, and re-occupancy decisions.

3. Strengthening & Rehabilitation

  • Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit: Assessment and upgrading of structures using force-based and performance-based design approaches to improve seismic resilience.
  • FRP Strengthening Systems: Strengthening of structural elements using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems to enhance flexural and shear capacity.
  • Jacketed Strengthening Solutions: Strengthening of structural members using concrete, steel, or composite jacketing systems to improve strength, stiffness, and ductility.
  • Retaining Structure Strengthening: Strengthening of gravity walls, reinforced concrete cantilever walls, mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, and soldier-pile and lagging systems.
  • Load Capacity Upgrade and Change-of-Use: Structural upgrading to accommodate increased loads, new equipment, or changes in occupancy and usage.
