The BFG team boasts extensive experience in executing structural alteration works for existing buildings and structures, spanning commercial, residential, industrial, and retail projects.
Our teams offer comprehensive support, including pre-construction advice, logistics plans, and temporary works designs to ensure well-planned, safe, and specification-compliant project delivery.
Cut and Carve Structural Modification:
Referred to as 'cut and carve,' structural modification involves altering a building's structure for various reasons, such as rectifying flaws, addressing damages, or accommodating proposed changes. This process studies the relationship between a structure's modal and spatial properties, utilizing experimental modal analysis technology for problem-solving and design optimization. Various methods for structural modification are explored, addressing both immediate and inverse problems.
Packaging in Construction:
Packaging in construction involves breaking down large projects into work packages for bidding, ordering, and the supply chain. The design team can select specialized teams for early involvement in design development, and a package may include design/engineering, production and supply, prefabrication and delivery, site installation, operation and maintenance.
Temporary Works Design and Installation:
Temporary works design and installation focus on secondary components like purlins, tie rods, angle supports, tie bars, sleeve pipes, roof bracing, and column bracing. These elements are crucial for facilitating the construction of permanent works and are typically removed after project completion. Responsible planning for temporary works is essential to avoid structural failures or project delays.
Composite Slab Decks:
Composite slab decks involve concrete structures built over steel decks with support from steel beams, creating a monolithic system. This construction method enhances the floor system's strength and weight-bearing capacity, offering various profile dimensions and lengths to suit different concrete slabs and strength requirements.
Underpinning Foundation:
Underpinning is the process of strengthening and stabilizing an existing foundation by extending reinforcement either in breadth or depth. It involves micro piling and jet grouting processes, often necessitated by changes in soil properties, alterations in the structure's purpose, or instability in the existing foundation.
Propping in Construction:
Propping is a temporary support system used during construction, ranging from simple supports with adjustable height to more complex structures adapted for large spaces. The design of a support system involves calculating loads, considering support point characteristics, choosing suitable materials, resolving forces, and incorporating bracing and wind support to prevent structural deformation.
The BFG team ensures meticulous execution and problem-solving in each of these construction aspects, emphasizing safety, efficiency, and adherence to specifications.
