Historical facades are invaluable remnants of the past, reflecting the architectural and cultural identity of a place. Facade retention allows us to safeguard these structures, maintaining their integrity for generations to come.
Retaining existing facades reduces the need for complete demolition, minimising construction waste and promoting sustainable building practices. It’s an eco-friendly approach that aligns with the principles of responsible development.
At Stringfellows Civil Engineering, we know how important it is to maintain the facade of existing, often historic, buildings.
Our team of expert, certified professionals bring a wealth of experience, understanding all the latest techniques and working to industry standards.
Our process begins with a comprehensive structural assessment of the existing facade. We analyse the materials, conditions, and historical significance to develop a tailored retention strategy.
Our experienced engineers craft detailed retention plans, considering the unique challenges posed by each project. The design seamlessly integrates modern construction methods with the preservation of historical elements.
To ensure the safety of the structure during construction, we implement temporary support systems. These systems are carefully designed and installed to bear the load of the existing facade until the new structure is in place.
Preservation is not just about holding up a facade but also about restoring its beauty. Our team excels in meticulous restoration and repair work, bringing historical elements back to life.
As the new structure takes shape, we ensure a seamless integration of the retained facade. Our goal is to create a cohesive blend of old and new that respects the architectural integrity of both elements.
Throughout the process, we adhere to the highest quality standards. Our commitment to excellence ensures that the retained facade not only meets safety regulations but also exceeds aesthetic expectations.
