Checklist Before Starting Structural Retrofitting

Retrofitting is not just about adding steel or jacketing columns. The biggest risk is starting intervention without reliable information about existing materials, load paths, and historical alterations.

Before design finalization, we prioritize condition mapping, member verification, and selective NDT planning. We also align temporary stability measures with contractor methodology to avoid unsafe transitions during execution.

A disciplined prestart process reduces change orders later and allows clients to phase works without shutting down critical operations unnecessarily.
