Structural Rehabilitation and Existing Bldg. Modification
Structural Retrofit and Strengthening Design
At Strut E&I, Inc., we specialize in assessing and enhancing the structural integrity of existing buildings through carefully planned modifications and rehabilitation strategies. Whether the goal is to meet updated code requirements, accommodate new uses, or restore aging components, our engineers approach each project with technical precision and practical insight. We focus on understanding the original design intent and structural behavior before implementing tailored upgrades that improve safety, performance, and long-term resilience. Our work often supports renovation, retrofit, and adaptive reuse initiatives, enabling property owners to extend the useful life of valuable assets without starting from scratch.
