 STRUCTURAL INVESTIGATIONS


We deploy state of the art non-destructive diagnostic tools and practical investigation methods to comprehensively examine building components and key connections. We undertake structural condition assessments and have capabilities in collecting high quality geometric data to produce 3D digital building models. Our investigation approach is designed to produce informed, tailored decisions on repairs and retrofit, with the ultimate goal of ensuring safety, longevity and resilience of your existing property.

SEISMIC RETROFIT


Our philosophy is to utilise the existing structure as much as possible prior to applying a strengthening intervention. This has been repeatedly proven to save millions of dollars in the seismic upgrade process. Collectively, our team possesses some of the world’s largest knowledge pools when it comes to understanding building seismic performance.

We blend this knowledge in advanced engineering techniques with leading computer modelling software specifically suited to existing building analysis. Our design approach caters to the unique challenges of each project, aiming to extend the lifespan of the building with minimal impact on its historical identity.

 PEER REVIEW


We offer comprehensive peer review services to ensure engineering designs meet the highest standards of accuracy, safety and compliance. We possess intricate knowledge of national and global earthquake design standards and philosophies, and utilise this to thoroughly evaluate and recommend solutions to enhance project outcomes. A rigorous review process is essential for upholding quality and reliability in engineering projects, particularly in the field of seismic retrofit and historic building preservation.
