Retrofitting is the process of modifying something after it has been constructed. Retrofitting a structure involves changing its systems or structure after its initial construction and occupation. This is required when the original strength of the structure reduces or additional strength or load bearing capacity is needed.
The process of retrofitting and rehabilitating current structures applies to a growing number of construction scenarios – examples range from aging buildings to seismic strengthening. Rehabilitation and retrofitting of buildings are often required due to unforeseen requirements such as fixing design defects, improving construction standards, and repairing structures due to natural disasters. These retrofit and rehab projects frequently entail a need for fast turnarounds due to public safety and emergency measure requirements.
To help construction companies, engineers, consultants, architects, and others improve management of rehab and retrofit tasks, Flatworld Solutions (FWS) provides customized services to help with offsite retrofitting and rehabilitation of existing structures.
