Turnkey Solution - Reinforcement
In collaboration with our engineer, here are the reinforcement methods:
-
Foundation Reinforcement: Addition of additional footings and steel piles to increase load distribution and transfer loads to the bedrock.
-
Beam and Column Reinforcement: Addition of bolted steel elements to the existing wood structure or replacement with new steel beams and columns.
-
Installation of Bracing: Walls, steel cross braces, or diagonal braces to strengthen the structure and improve its resistance to lateral loads.
-
Transfer of Point Loads: Checking and adding load transfer blocks.
