Structural Remediation, Strengthening & Repair
Not every problem can be fixed on the spot.
Not every fix needs to win an architectural award.
We can provide you with short term remediation plans for steel and concrete structures in cases where long term planning is required.

Concrete Remediation
During inspection, an area of poor quality concrete was noted in a part of a bridge pier.
We provided the systems and methods to remove the areas of concern, and reinstate using epoxy products.
The repair was then verified for load sharing using mechanical strain gauges.
The repair lasted 2 years without issue until the pier was replaced

Timber Remediation
A timber bridge identified for replacement required strengthening in order to ensure its safety and reliability for its remaining 12 months of service life.
Through modelling and strain measurement, the two central piles were taking 80% of the loads. Pyramid Engineering devised a lightweight post-tensioned steel frame to redistribute the pile loading more evenly across each pile group and used bondable strain gauges to adjust tension systematically until the best load share could be established.
Pyramid Engineering also provided a decommissioning plan for the framework to ensure safe demolition of the bridge.

Steel Remediation
Steel remediation is generally performed for structures suffering from fatigue or corrosion.
Due to confidentially we cannot display some of our steel remediation projects here.
