Structural works

We have a public liability and property damage expertise in structural works, namely in construction superstructures. We also analyze their compliance with regulations and standards (seismic risk, fire-resistance, etc.).

Not only do we act on site to pinpoint the technical causes after the damage, we also assist our customers in choosing and implementing protective measures, and in determining the repair solutions that offer the best technico-economical compromise.

To achieve our goal of efficiently solving our customers’ issues, various skills are needed : structural analysis (steel, wood, concrete, masonry), reinforcement techniques, strength of materials.

We can also assist our customers in analyzing complex projects’ risks before they decide to subscribe an insurance policy.
