Building Rehabilitation

Building Rehabilitation refers to the process of restoring, strengthening, and upgrading an existing structure to improve its safety, durability, and functional performance. Over time, buildings deteriorate due to aging, environmental exposure, structural defects, or lack of maintenance. Rehabilitation ensures the building remains safe for occupancy and extends its overall lifespan.

Why Rehabilitation Is Necessary

Buildings require rehabilitation for several reasons:

• Structural Damage: Cracks, corrosion of reinforcement, settlement, and weakened members.

• Aging & Wear: Natural deterioration of concrete, steel, and waterproofing systems.

• Leakage & Dampness: Moisture ingress leading to damage and unhealthy conditions.

• Corrosion of Steel: Rusted reinforcement reducing structural capacity.

• Environmental Factors: Pollution, weathering, and chemical exposure.

• Code Compliance: Upgrades required to meet current safety and structural standards.

• Pre-Redevelopment Assessment: Necessary for older buildings undergoing feasibility checks.

Rehabilitation ensures the building continues to perform safely, efficiently, and in line with modern engineering expectations.

6. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Based Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation planning is supported by accurate NDT results such as:

• UPV, Rebound Hammer Test

• Core Cutting

• Half-Cell Potential

• Carbonation test

• Rebar scanning
  This ensures every repair is based on scientific evidence.
