Retrofitting & Rehabilitation

Assess, strengthen, and extend the life of existing buildings and industrial structures.

Extended service life without full replacement
Minimal disruption to building operations
Cost-effective alternatives to demolition and rebuild
Documented condition assessments for compliance

Overview

When structures age, change use, or face new loading demands, AR-TEC provides assessment and strengthening solutions that restore safety and extend service life.

We inspect, test, and model existing structures to identify deficiencies and propose practical retrofit schemes - steel jackets, carbon fibre wrapping, additional bracing, and foundation upgrades.

Our rehabilitation work minimises downtime and keeps buildings operational throughout the upgrade process where possible. We understand that closing a factory or hospital for months is rarely acceptable.

Life extension engineering is sustainability in action - retaining embodied carbon in existing structures while meeting modern safety standards.

Our Approach

01

Consult & Scope

We review your brief, site constraints, codes, and programme to define a clear engineering scope.

02

Analyse & Design

Our engineers model, calculate, and optimise structural solutions using industry-leading software.

03

Document & Review

Drawings, reports, and specifications are prepared and internally peer-reviewed before issue.

04

Support & Deliver

We stay engaged through construction - answering RFIs, reviewing submissions, and verifying on site.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you assess an existing structure?

We combine visual inspection, non-destructive testing where needed, as-built review, and structural modelling to establish current capacity and deficiencies.

Can buildings remain occupied during retrofit?

In many cases yes. We design phased retrofit schemes that allow partial occupancy throughout the upgrade programme.
