RE-ENGINEERING OF STRUCTURES
The goal of re-engineering is to improve structural integrity, functionality, and safety while addressing any deficiencies or adapting to new requirements that involves updating and optimizing existing steel frameworks to enhance performance, meet new standards, or accommodate changes in use. Our objective is to bring existing structures back to life, making sure they not only adhere to modern standards but also open the door for further developments. The goal of re-engineering is to improve structural integrity, functionality, and safety while addressing any deficiencies or adapting to new requirements, that includes,
Initial Assessment
Conducting a comprehensive assessment of the existing steel structure to evaluate its current condition, performance, and any areas requiring modification or improvement.
Performance Evaluation
Analyzing the existing structural performance under current and anticipated load conditions, including assessing capacity, stability, and any potential weaknesses.
Design Analysis
Reviewing and updating the structural design to meet new or revised design criteria, building codes, and performance requirements, ensuring it aligns with current standards.
Load Recalculation
Recalculating loads and forces on the existing structure to ensure it can accommodate updated usage, environmental conditions, or operational requirements.
Modification Design
Developing design solutions for necessary modifications, such as strengthening, reconfiguring, or expanding the existing steel framework, including detailed engineering drawings and specifications.
Material Evaluation
Assessing the condition and suitability of existing materials and recommending upgrades or replacements where needed to improve performance or extend the lifespan of the structure.
Integration with New Systems
Ensuring that any re-engineered elements integrate seamlessly with existing systems, such as mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, while accommodating any new installations or changes.
Code Compliance
Ensuring that the re-engineered structure complies with updated building codes, regulations, and industry standards, addressing any discrepancies between current and previous requirements.
Fabrication and Construction Coordination
Coordinating with fabricators and contractors to ensure that modifications are accurately fabricated and installed and managing any associated construction activities.
Risk Management
Identifying potential risks associated with re-engineering, such as structural conflicts, safety concerns, or cost implications, and developing strategies to mitigate these risks.
Quality Assurance
Implementing quality control measures to ensure that re-engineering work meets design specifications, industry standards, and safety regulations
Documentation and Reporting
Providing detailed documentation of the re-engineering process, including design changes, analysis results, and construction modifications, and preparing reports for stakeholders.
Post-Re-Engineering Assessment
Conducting final inspections and evaluations to confirm that the re-engineered structure meets all performance and safety criteria and providing certification or sign-off as required.
