Reinvigoration of existing building stock whether a simple re-roof or a more complicated ‘cut and carve’ is a field Portland have significant experience in and our Structural and Civil Engineering teams can produce practical and economical designs for any project regardless of size, intricacy or complexity
We will be engaged early in the process and will undertake structural surveys, condition assessments and load capacity assessments in order to inform the feasibility of a refurbishment. We will use advanced engineering modelling techniques and refine calculations in order to ensure the full load carrying capacity of a structure is understood and maximised. Where strengthening is unavoidable to achieve the aspirations of the client we can design this using the same philosophy as our core engineering disciplines; practicality, buildability and economy. 3D modelling techniques can be used to produce design options that can easily be visualised by all.
