Understanding of structural behaviour
HOW DOES THE STRUCTURAL SYSTEM OF YOUR ASSET WORK?
The structural characteristics of existing assets are often poorly documented, while their actual behaviour, load-bearing capacity, and ability to accommodate additional loads can be difficult to assess with confidence.
Constru-Care supports you in understanding the structural behaviour of your assets through a comprehensive approach combining engineering expertise, surveys, investigations, and structural modelling.
Our specialists analyse the available documentation, identify load-bearing elements, reconstruct load paths, and assess the actual structural behaviour of the asset. The required investigations are defined and interpreted to validate structural assumptions and accurately characterise the structure.
HOW DOES THE STRUCTURAL SYSTEM OF YOUR ASSET WORK?
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
A specialised structural diagnostics and engineering team capable of understanding how structures truly behave, identifying load paths, and accurately assessing their load-bearing capacity.
INTEGRATED APPROACH
Integrated approach combining engineering expertise, surveys, investigations, and structural modelling to develop a complete understanding of the structure before drawing conclusions or making decisions.
CLEAR ANSWERS
Analyses translated into clear conclusions, concise deliverables, and well-supported recommendations, enabling rapid and informed technical, operational, and investment decisions.
A comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach
A comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach
EXPERT ASSESSMENTS
Visual assessment of the structure and review of available documentation to establish an initial diagnosis, identify potential defects, and develop hypotheses regarding the arrangement of load-bearing elements, structural behaviour, and load paths.
STRUCTURAL IDENTIFICATION
Analysis of the collected information to accurately identify load-bearing elements, reconstruct load paths, establish load transfer mechanisms, and gain a comprehensive understanding of the structure’s overall behaviour.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Development of tailored recommendations based on the actual condition of the structure and the objectives of the project, whether involving temporary protective measures, structural strengthening, rehabilitation works, or changes in operational use.
SURVEYS & INVESTIGATIONS
Carrying out geometric surveys and targeted investigations to characterise the structure, determine its actual dimensions, identify materials, and confirm or challenge the assumptions established during the assessment.
STRUCTURAL MODELLING
Development of a numerical model representative of the existing structure to simulate its behaviour, assess the applied loads and verify its structural performance under various operating scenarios.
ACCURATE DELIVERABLES
Production of comprehensive and actionable deliverables, including drawings, schematic diagrams, calculation notes, technical reports, and digital models, providing the information required to support decision-making and monitor the implementation of recommended actions.
