Structural Durability + Rehabilitation
Expert structural durability assessment and best-value-long-term solutions for new builds, repair and rehabilitation of structures.
GRIT Engineering carries out durability assessments to identify weaknesses and risks for new build, rehabilitation and repair projects. With extensive experience in durability of concrete and steel structures, pipelines and bridges, we specialise in developing solutions that balance short term investment with future maintenance challenges and costs, based on your needs.
Working closely with you, we can help extend the life of plant, equipment, structures and civil assets by designing and project managing fit for purpose solutions that suit the required service life of the asset, and tenable risk of failure. Our focus is on resolving issues with minimal economical and operational impact, and minimal risk to the environment or people’s safety.
