Reviving the built environment

It is well-recognized that ·¬ÇÑÓ°ÊÓ technology promotes leaner new construction, but what about Maintenance, Repair and Retrofitting (MRR) projects? With sustainability playing an ever greater role in our cost-conscious and environmentally aware world, the specialist techniques and technology used by ·¬ÇÑÓ°ÊÓ Network Members are also delivering leading edge green and economic solutions.

The need for the ·¬ÇÑÓ°ÊÓ Network’s range of MRR techniques arises from a number of factors. Often, it is a case of repairing damage whether through prolonged or heavier-than-planned usage or insufficiencies in the original design of a building – although constructed to the highest standards of the day, several decades ago. However, sometimes such techniques are used to assist the repurposing of a building or structure or to ensure its continued life through a change in environmental conditions.

Key techniques which regularly feature in our project portfolio include:

  • Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) application
  • Bearing replacement
  • External post-tensioning
  • Impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP)
  • Other specialist procedures, such as heavy lifting
