Property type Component Motivation Service
| Property type: | Basement garage |
| Component: | Joist |
| Motivation: | In-fill development |
| Service: | Diagnosis, load test |
A retirement home as in-fill development: In close cooperation with the structural engineer in charge we examined the question whether an existing basement garage could safely be integrated into a retirement home that was to be built as an in-fill development.
| Property type: | Bridge |
| Component: | Superctructure and Abutment |
| Motivation: | |
| Service: | Load tests |
The reinforced concrete bridge was one of the last existing “Möller-Bridge”, and was tested in-situ by using the special loading vehicle "BELFA"
| Property type: | Bunker |
| Component: | Ceiling + joist |
| Motivation: | Conversion |
| Service: | Diagnosis + hybrid statics |
After WW II this bunker had purposefully been made inoperable by controlled blastings of the inner structure. We accompanied the reconstruction and conversion into a power plant.
| Property type: | Crane runway |
| Component: | Reinforced concrete beam |
| Motivation: | Damages |
| Service: | Hybrid statics |
More than 90 years of crane operation and the handling of agressive potash had left heavy traces on this reinorced concrete structure. We checked whether it is permissible to keep up operations until the structure can either be overhauled or replaced by a new construction.
| Property type: | Mining Directorate |
| Component: | Stair Case |
| Motivation: | |
| Service: | Load Test |
In order to convert the The Mining Directorate in Saarbrücken to a shopping mall the load carrying capacity of all structures must been proven for the increased live loads, including flights of stairs, half-paces and columns.
| Property type: | Rail bridge |
| Component: | Superstructure |
| Motivation: | Damages |
| Service: | Hybrid statics |
After cracks had been discovered in the superstructures we were commissioned to explore the current load bearing capability of several rail bridges in Austria.
| Property type: | Roof |
| Component: | Light-weight concrete slabs |
| Motivation: | Survey |
| Service: | Load-Tests |
The roof of the "Neuen Museum Weserburg" in Bremen, Germany, is made of light-weight concrete slabs. They showed visible deformations and cracks (w ≤ 0,5 mm). We tested both its seriveability and its load carrying safety.
| Property type: | School |
| Component: | Facade |
| Motivation: | Renovation |
| Service: | Load Test |
The facades of the reinforced frame construction should be energy-efficiently refurbished. The joints showed partially defects, so that the load transfer of both vertical and horizontal wind loads could not be shown satisfactorily.
| Property type: | wind energy converter |
| Component: | foundation |
| Motivation: | survey |
| Service: | Measurements and monitoring |
Our company has gained experience how to connect a steel tower to a reinforced concrete foundation, how to deal with possible damages and methods of reconstruction.
