Repair & Rehabilitation Engineering
SIMCO helps asset owners and managers develop targeted intervention programs to achieve service-life extension goals. Our approach combines risk analysis, asset characterization, condition assessment, and component criticality to create optimized scenarios for repair, rehabilitation, and maintenance.
EXTENDING SERVICE LIFE THROUGH OPTIMIZED INTERVENTIONS
SIMCO advocates the implementation of solutions that meet service life objectives while minimizing, as much as possible, the impact on the structure in service, based on the owner’s priorities: impact on operations, impact on users, aesthetics, costs, etc.
OUR SERVICES:
- Residual service life analysis of the structure
- Projection of future performance of structure’s elements
- Repair, rehabilitation, and maintenance scenarios
- Service-life extension assessment of intervention scenarios
- Strengthening and protection solutions recommendations (membranes, cathodic protection, etc.)
- Maintenance programs and life-cycle cost analysis
- Optimized selection of repair materials
- Design of compatible concrete mixes
- Plans, specifications, and bid support
- Project management and site supervision
- Quality assurance and control
- Durability support during construction
SUSTAINABLE STRUCTURE MANAGEMENT
SIMCO supports the integration of inspection protocols, durability and service-life models, along with maintenance programs into advanced asset management systems. When applied early, these measures improve planning, minimize risks, and generate substantial savings.
PRESERVING AND ADAPTING STRUCTURES FOR FUTURE NEEDS
In addition to repair and rehabilitation engineering services, SIMCO also provides support for preparing extension works, functional adaptation, and structural requalification:
- Feasibility studies
- Structural analyses for increased load capacity
- Code compliance and seismic strengthening
