Challenge:
The project involved rectifying a critical structural irregularity where the load distribution was inconsistent—12 columns at ground floor, reduced to 7 columns at first floor, and again increased to 12 columns at second floor. This mismatch posed a serious stability risk. Additionally, the building was attached to adjacent properties, resulting in water seepage and demanding extreme care to avoid damage to neighbouring structures during correction.
Our Solution:
Srusti Constructions implemented a corrective engineering approach by introducing new load-bearing columns at the first-floor level to realign structural continuity. Temporary supports and controlled jack systems were used to stabilise the structure during correction. Advanced waterproofing systems were integrated along shared walls to permanently address seepage while safeguarding adjoining buildings.
Outcome:
The building was structurally stabilised and made safe for long-term usage. The renovation successfully transformed an old residential structure into a fully functional commercial space, completed within just 6 months, without causing impact or distress to neighboring properties.
Why It's Special :
This project stands as a strong example of corrective engineering and adaptive reuse. Addressing a structurally flawed building within a dense urban setting required precision planning, controlled execution, and high technical accountability—demonstrating that even compromised structures can be restored safely with the right engineering approach.
