Evaluation of structural capacity
Is your structure strong enough to be preserved?
The load-bearing capacity of an existing structure can be difficult to assess accurately, particularly when its history, actual condition, or previous modifications are not fully documented or understood.
Constru-Care provides a comprehensive structural assessment approach combining document analysis, targeted investigations, and structural modelling to understand and evaluate the behaviour of existing assets.
Our experts review available drawings, structural calculations, and technical reports, define additional investigations where required, and analyse the resulting data to assess both the theoretical and actual load-bearing capacity of the structure.
WHAT IS THE CONDITION OF YOUR STRUCTURE ?
The load-bearing capacity of an existing structure can be difficult to assess accurately, particularly when its history, actual condition, or previous modifications are not fully documented or understood.
Constru-Care provides a comprehensive structural assessment approach combining document analysis, targeted investigations, and structural modelling to understand and evaluate the behaviour of existing assets.
Our experts review available drawings, structural calculations, and technical reports, define additional investigations where required, and analyse the resulting data to assess both the theoretical and actual load-bearing capacity of the structure.
We provide clear conclusions regarding the safety, residual service life, and performance of the structure, supported by well-founded recommendations for its operation, strengthening, or rehabilitation, delivered through concise and actionable deliverables.
EXPERTISE
A team of engineers combining expertise in structural analysis and structural pathology assessment, with a thorough understanding of deterioration mechanisms and their impact on buildings and structures.
Standardised methodology
Application of a structured methodology based on recognised standards and objective assessment criteria, ensuring consistent, reliable, and reproducible diagnoses.
CLEAR DIAGNOSIS
Presentation of findings, key issues, and recommendations in clear and accessible language, facilitating understanding and informed decision-making.
Comprehensive analysis
Comprehensive analysis
REVIEW OF AVAILABLE DOCUMENTATION
Review of drawings, calculation notes, and other available documentation, combined with a preliminary inspection, to develop a clear understanding of the structure and its surrounding environment.
LOAD-BEARING CAPACITY ASSESSMENT
Determination of the theoretical and residual load-bearing capacity based on the information collected, the characteristics of the structure, and its assessed condition.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Definition of the most appropriate actions for rehabilitation, monitoring, and maintenance, based on the observed deterioration mechanisms and the asset owner's objectives.
ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATIONS
Proposal and specification of the necessary and sufficient additional investigations required to perform a reliable load-bearing capacity assessment.
RESIDUAL SERVICE LIFE ESTIMATION
Estimation of the likely progression of deterioration and its impact on the structural performance of the asset, enabling future intervention needs to be anticipated and planned effectively.
DELIVERABLE
Presentation of the analysis results and recommendations through concise, well-substantiated, and actionable deliverables, including drawings, technical notes, and reports, to support asset management and the effective implementation of follow-up actions.
