Major Maintenance


We perform, and have done so since our founding, the
engineering services necessary for capital structures in
existing buildings, that because of wear and tear, necessary
additional capacity or other good reasons, need replacement.
This is also the case with major maintenance that buildings
require so that their capital structures do not deteriorate.

These projects have individual needs that require a careful
evaluation of alternate approaches and the viability of new
materials and methods of providing the structure’s needs.
Technology is changing rapidly as are the needs of buildings,
and these conditions call for the knowledgeable and
professional services that we perform. These services are
complete in all respects from the careful identification of
the problem in a true cause and effect manner, to the
development of designs and specifications for their
correction, the management of bidding procedures
and the construction phase work that is needed to
make sure that the project proceeds as planned.

A major aspect of our work can be classified as corrective
maintenance. When a building is experiencing a need for
a major maintenance procedure, a cause and effect analysis
often reveals that the initial construction or an improper
previously done maintenance procedure did not meet the
needs of the building. It is necessary at this point to determine
how this condition can be corrected so that the cost of this
maintenance is not unnecessarily repeated. Engineering
designs are then needed to provide proper construction
as well as the correct maintenance procedure.
