Renovation of historic buildings
As the years pass, historic buildings suffer from their safety and structural rigidity. Although the materials from which they were made, even several centuries ago, have resisted until now.
Restoration methods
The restoration of these works and buildings can take place in different ways. First of all, an on-site study is carried out which is useful for accurately understanding the current situation and only then do we think about the types of applications.
The interventions differ in their extension, static behavior ascertained and achieved, invasiveness and reversibility, state of compulsion provided, architectural integrity and durability and compatibility of the material.
Practical application
Like the application characteristics, the intervention methods also differ from each other. And they can belong to some categories or even match each other.
Strength member reinforcement is a technique used to increase the strength, rigidity and ductility of the structure. Other methods are the reduction of masses, limitation or change of the intended use of the building and introduction of passive protection through dissipative bracing structures and/or insulation at the base.
Even in these cases, some of our operators work alongside restorers of buildings and architectural structures, in order to make the final result of the restoration even more quality and long-lasting over time.
