Structural Design
Development of robust solutions for the conservation and structural strengthening of buildings.
Designing with knowledge, strengthening with structural efficiency.
Structural Design translates the knowledge obtained through structural survey and seismic assessment into concrete technical solutions for conservation and structural strengthening.
We develop structural designs tailored to existing buildings, respecting original materials and construction techniques, as well as regulatory requirements relating to safety, durability and sustainability, always with a strong focus on heritage safeguarding.
The proposed solutions aim to enhance structural performance, extend service life and minimise the impact of interventions.
When to use
Following structural survey.
When structural conservation or strengthening of existing buildings is required.
To address existing structural damage or increase load-bearing capacity.
For the seismic strengthening of vulnerable structures.
In cases of change of use or increased structural loading.
Knowledge based structural design ensures safety, efficiency, durability and heritage protection.
Solutions tailored to existing conditions
Designs developed based on detailed structural knowledge and the selection of materials and systems compatible with the existing construction.
Technical and economic efficiency
Optimised structural design, avoiding unnecessary or excessive interventions.
Heritage safeguarding
Solutions defined to minimise impact on the structures while preserving its heritage value.
Enhanced structural safety
Improved structural and seismic performance.
Durability and sustainability
Solutions that extend service life and reduce environmental impact.
