Engineering Expertise for Existing Structures

Engineering expertise for existing structures helps contracting authorities manage their infrastructures and historical buildings at every stage in the asset’s life cycle.

From the time work begins on site to the end, a building or civil engineering structure must be inspected, monitored, maintained and – in most cases – reconfigured or upgraded. The design and implementation of these maintenance and refurbishment tasks must have their basis in specialized knowledge and expertise.

This type of specialist engineering is essential in responding appropriately to the complex problems involved in assessing the service levels of structures and identifying maintenance tasks to be undertaken and completed.

Against a background of increasingly restrictive budgetary and operating conditions, maintenance scheme optimization is becoming a necessity for contracting authorities.
