Existing structures & structural assessment
01 · Existing assetUnderstand the existing substance

Geometry, use, records and visible changes are brought together systematically.

Existing structures & structural assessment00%
Phase01/ 05
01 · Existing asset01

Understand the existing substance systematically

Records, use history, geometry and visible changes form one coherent technical picture.

Engineering focusSurvey basis
  • Compare drawings with actual condition
  • Reconstruct structural system and alterations
02 · Diagnosis02

Investigate and classify anomalies precisely

Cracks, corrosion, deformation and material condition are documented, measured and supplemented by targeted testing.

Engineering focusDamage assessment
  • Evaluate causes rather than symptoms
  • Select measurement and testing methods deliberately
03 · Re-analysis03

Connect findings with actual structural behaviour

Material properties, existing sections and current loads feed into a transparent capacity assessment.

Engineering focusCapacity assessment
  • Differentiate reserves and weaknesses
  • Develop models appropriate to existing structures
04 · Intervention04

Develop the most proportionate measure

Strengthening, repair or adapted use are compared by safety, effort, sequence and preservation of the existing fabric.

Engineering focusIntervention strategy
  • Balance depth of intervention and effect
  • Consider construction during continued use
05 · Safeguarding05

Document the decision for long-term use

Drawings, verification and monitoring concepts provide clarity for approval, execution and future inspection.

Engineering focusDocumentation & monitoring
  • Describe measures clearly for review and construction
  • Define future observation points unambiguously
Service profile

Existing structures & structural assessment

Existing-structure projects begin with a structured review of the asset. Available documents, geometry, visible damage and proposed changes in use are combined into a clear engineering assessment.

Service components

Professionally structured. Tailored to the project
