An extension of D’Huy Engineering, Inc.’s brownstone renovation work includes providing design services to restore and rehabilitate existing structures for re-use. Typically these projects involve a change in occupancy or use of a current facility, which often requires re-evaluation of floor capacities. Revitalizing existing structures to create an updated more usable space that benefits the community where it is located is a very rewarding aspect of this work. Accommodating varying floor heights, preserving the exterior facade, and integrating new construction with the existing structure are a few of the design challenges associated with these projects.
This work often includes large scale renovations and rehabilitation, reinforcing of deteriorated floor and wall systems, restoration of masonry structures and retrofit solutions for corrosion deterioration of steel components and structural concrete. Our extensive experience in evaluating and renovating existing structures includes multistory masonry buildings, mill buildings, parking garages, churches and other commercial, residential and industrial facilities.
