Old Structures Engineering Sustainability Actions

Works on existing buildings

Old Structures Engineering brings award-winning technical expertise, responding to complex challenges on all aspects relating to historical and existing building projects. We provide structural engineering services tailored for existing buildings.

Includes investigation phase

Our standard scope of work includes an investigation phase, something that is not true of structural engineering firms in general. We examine the condition of building structure and determine what that structure is.

Preserves and reuses old buildings

Old Structures Engineering is dedicated to the idea that old buildings are not only as good as new ones, but can be better because they are cultural artifacts that help inform us all of who and where they are. Preserving and reusing old buildings strengthen our common history by preserving the locations and appearance of our cities and towns, while at the same time saving energy and natural resources by reusing existing built structure rather than demolishing it and building new.
