Existing Structures

Aiding the preservation of architectural heritage.

Our company apprehends the significance of our architectural heritage and embraces the requisiteness for its preservation. Synecdochically, it is being occupied with the protection of old or historic buildings from the detrimental environmental effects and with their reinforcement against natural hazards, such as earthquakes. The specific components of this arduous and challenging domain, that we undertake are related to the:

• Assessment of the bearing capacity of existing structures.
• Seismic upgrading of existing structures with deficient earthquake capacity, with conventional strengthening methods.
• Seismic upgrading of existing structures with deficient earthquake capacity, with unconventional, pioneering methods, such as seismic isolation or energy dissipation techniques.
• Height or/and plan extensions of buildings with intelligently derived solutions, in order to attenuate the gravitational and earthquake response of the existing structures.
• Implementation of drastic and financially approachable methods for the conservation and the protection of existing buildings from adverse environmental effects.
