Fire Damaged Structure

Every distressed structure has a story. When it comes to fire-damaged structures, the story unfolds with intensity and adversity. Stepping into a fire-damaged structure itself is an emotionally and technically challenging task. To an asset owner or a decision maker, it becomes a tough task to resume the operations, since it requires assessment, retrofitting and certifying the structure and consultants with specific expertise in this field are hard to find.

Fortunately, over the years, we have developed the inhouse expertise in assessment of fire-damaged structures - a domain where hands-on experience and underlying theoretical aspects are of utmost importance. So far, we have discretely undertaken projects of fire-damaged sites, including a burned-out warehouse in Mumbai, a prestigious hospital in Navsari, Gujarat, a luxury car showroom in Navi Mumbai and a chemical production facility in MIDC Mumbai.

Fire damage is rarely confined to one area. Its destructive effects can usually be seen throughout the structure. Assessing the true impact of a fire requires meticulous understanding of various parameters, such as ventilation, the presence and types of combustible materials, fire duration, temperatures reached, concrete cover depth, design safety factors and more. With advanced concrete tomography machine, we could peer into the depths of distressed concrete to see the cavities and internal cracking that may have formed due to fire.

With our dedicated team, we strive to provide accurate assessments by analyzing each structure with due diligence. Our team even includes a specialist with several years of doctoral research experience on impact of fire on structural steel at IIT, ensuring an unparalleled depth of knowledge and expertise. We understand that restoring fire-damaged structures requires nothing less than an expert in the field and we have the confidence to deliver.
