We provide engineering for the modification, strengthening, and repair of existing assets. Our practice addresses material deterioration and operational changes across all primary structural systems, from commercial retrofits to heavy civil infrastructure.​

​

ADAPTIVE REUSE & STRUCTURAL MODIFICATIONS

​

• ​Load Transfer & Column Removal: Design of transfer beams and shoring to facilitate the removal of load-bearing walls or columns.

• Vertical Expansion: Feasibility analysis and structural reinforcement to support rooftop additions and overbuilds.

• Seismic & Lateral Retrofit: Upgrading lateral force-resisting systems (braced frames, shear walls) to meet current building codes.

• Strengthening Systems: Design of carbon fiber (CFRP), steel plate bonding, and external post-tensioning to increase live load capacity.

• Hybrid Connections: Detailing connections to tie new steel framing into existing concrete, masonry, or timber elements.

• Mechanical Integration: Engineering support for new roof dunnage, heavy equipment risers, and slab penetrations.

​

ASSET RESTORATION & REPAIR​​

​

• Concrete Repair: Specification of hydrodemolition, partial-depth repairs, and galvanic anode protection for reinforced concrete.

• Post-Tensioning: Evaluation and repair of unbonded and bonded tendon systems, including strand replacement and anchorage rehabilitation.

• Steel Structures: Remediation of fatigue cracking, section loss, impact damage, and coating failures in bridges and industrial facilities.

• Foundation Stabilization: Underpinning design, micropiles, and soil stabilization for settlement issues or increased loading.

• Building Envelope Support: Structural repair of shelf angles, masonry ties, stone anchors, and balcony guard connections.

• Industrial Slabs: Joint stabilization, dowel retrofits, and curling mitigation for high-traffic warehouse floors.

• Parking Structures: Restoration of podium decks, including expansion joint replacement, traffic coating specification, and ramp heating systems.
