Structural Retrofit Solutions

Unlocking the Hidden Value in Existing Structures

When a structure no longer meets the demands of a new vision, project stakeholders face a critical decision: demolish and rebuild at great expense, or adapt and strengthen with precision. Structural Retrofit Solutions (SRS) is a specialized engineering firm dedicated to the second, smarter path. We deliver innovative and economical designs that unlock the full potential of existing structures, saving clients time, capital, and unnecessary disruption by transforming structural liabilities into high-performing assets.

A Full-Spectrum Toolkit: Conventional Mastery & Advanced Innovation

Our expertise is rooted in a deep, practitioner-level understanding of every structural material. Our capabilities bridge the gap between time-tested conventional repairs—like steel plate bonding and section enlargement—and advanced material science. We are leaders in the application of cutting-edge composites like Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRP) and Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) systems, which add immense strength with minimal weight or visual impact. This comprehensive, unbiased toolkit ensures we always design the optimal solution, rather than fitting your problem to a limited set of services. We identify the most efficient path to code compliance and renewed service life, whether it requires a proven technique or a state-of-the-art intervention.

A Forensic and Diagnostic Approach to Problem Solving

Success in structural retrofitting begins with a precise diagnosis. We go beyond surface-level assessments to conduct a forensic analysis of the core challenge. Are you aiming to support heavier industrial equipment, accommodate a change-of-use with higher floor loads, prepare for a seismic upgrade, or repair corrosion-induced damage? Our process starts by understanding your primary objective. This allows us to engineer solutions that are not only structurally sound but also optimized for constructability, budget, and minimal operational downtime. We provide the clarity needed to make informed decisions with confidence.

Collaborative Value Engineering at Every Project Stage

We operate as a true design-assist and value engineering partner, integrating seamlessly with your team. During the crucial due diligence phase, we provide rapid, accurate feasibility studies that empower developers and real estate specialists to quantify risk and opportunity. As a design-assist partner to architects and contractors, we refine concepts, ensuring the chosen retrofit strategy is the most cost-effective and buildable. And during construction, we provide on-call engineering support to help the field team navigate unforeseen conditions and execute the design flawlessly. Our collaborative approach ensures the final design is the most economical and pragmatic solution to achieve your project's financial and functional goals.

Engineered Confidence: De-Risking Your Investment

Ultimately, our role is to provide engineered confidence. The process of modifying an existing structure is inherently filled with uncertainty. Our value lies in replacing that uncertainty with predictability. By leveraging our deep diagnostic expertise and broad solution set, we mitigate the primary risks that threaten project success: unforeseen costs, critical schedule delays, and compliance failures. We deliver rigorously vetted, code-compliant designs that stand up to scrutiny, allowing you to move forward with the assurance that your investment is sound and your asset is secure.
