Change of use and Alterations
Property owners and tenants frequently change the use or layout of buildings to accommodate improvements in their business. Such changes will often result in additional loading to elements of the structure and it is therefore essential to have a thorough understanding of the interaction between the structural components and identify any strengthening required.
The combined capabilities of the structural investigation team and the professional structural engineers enable ESG to identify the structural elements, evaluate their load carrying capacity, analyse their current loading including any surplus capacity and determine any measures required to strengthen the structure to accommodate the changes in load conditions.
