Strengthening

At OVM, our goal is to enhance the strength of structures, enabling them to withstand dynamic loads beyond their original design—without requiring significant modifications during or after repairs. Strengthening may be necessary due to various factors, such as:

• Deterioration over time,

• Increased loading demands,

• Updates to design codes, or

• Deficiencies in the original design or construction.

We offer a comprehensive approach to structural strengthening, including assessment, solution comparison, design, and execution. Our team collaborates with you from the initial evaluation to the final implementation, ensuring the most effective and efficient solution for your project.

Using our technical expertise and innovative methods, we deliver tailored strengthening systems, whether active or passive, to meet your specific needs. Our experienced engineering teams adapt solutions to local requirements and develop creative approaches to ensure safe and efficient interventions—even under live traffic or operational constraints.

Our Strengthening Solutions Include:

• Countering deformation,

• Shear reinforcement,

• Punching shear resistance,

• Increasing foundation capacity,

• Seismic strengthening, and

• Stability enhancements.

We Utilize Advanced Systems Such As:

• Additional post-tensioned tendons,

• Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) for strengthening and jacketing,

• Steel plates and composite solutions,

• Enlargement of structural sections,

• Foundation strengthening 

• Modifications to structural systems to optimize performance.

At OVM, we self-perform critical strengthening works, ensuring the highest safety and quality standards while minimizing delays and inefficiencies. Trust us to deliver durable, cost-effective, and innovative solutions that enhance the performance and longevity of your structures.
