Structural Evaluation and Remediation
Cardno has utilised the widest variety of construction materials and design criteria in its remedial engineering projects.
The company's workload regularly includes evaluating existing structures and investigating and designing remedial measures for structures experiencing distress from causes ranging from foundation failure and subsidence to earthquake damage, sabotage, fire, general structural deficiencies, corrosion and material deterioration.
Cardno has extensive experience in seismic design for both new structures and for retro-fitting existing structures. The Cardno approach ensures appropriate engineering solutions are provided to suit our clients’ specific needs.
