Engineering Challenges in Old Buildings
Avenida Brasil, the beating heart of Balneário Camboriú, demands maximum attention in retrofitting projects. Buildings constructed decades ago frequently require significant structural reinforcement. Furthermore, the region's aggressive sea air accelerates the corrosion of the reinforcement bars. Therefore, technical intervention requires absolute precision.
Technical Standards as a Basis
WGB Engenharia prioritizes safety at every stage of the process. Therefore, we rigorously follow the NBR 16747, which establishes guidelines for building inspection. For example, we analyze the integrity of foundations using ultrasound equipment. Consequently, we guarantee accurate reports before any controlled demolition.
Strategic Location and Complexity
Working close to Heart Hospital This imposes severe logistical restrictions. However, our team is proficient in managing construction sites in densely populated areas. Furthermore, we optimize the schedule to minimize noise. On the other hand, we apply modern resin injection techniques to reinforce pillars without compromising the original architecture.
Sustainability and Structural Reinforcement
Structural restoration goes beyond aesthetics. First, we diagnose pathologies such as carbonation. Then, we design carbon fiber reinforcements to increase load-bearing capacity. This significantly extends the lifespan of the property, sustainably enhancing its value.
Excellence in Execution
Engineering demands cutting-edge construction methods. Therefore, we monitor machine vibrations during excavation. Furthermore, we utilize adjustable metal shoring technologies. Consequently, we avoid differential settlement in adjacent structures. Finally, we deliver complete safety to the residents.
Conclusion and Next Steps
Structural renovations in old buildings demand technical expertise and legal compliance. WGB Arquitetura e Engenharia offers the necessary support to transform obsolete structures into high-performance assets.
