A landmark 1920s commercial tower required a comprehensive structural upgrade to meet modern seismic codes without compromising its historic facade. Our team delivered a full-scale retrofit using advanced BIM modeling to coordinate new steel reinforcement within the existing masonry shell.
The building's original unreinforced masonry structure posed a significant collapse risk in a seismic event. The project demanded a solution that preserved architectural heritage, minimized tenant disruption, and adhered to a strict municipal preservation timeline.
We developed a hybrid structural system. A concealed internal steel moment frame was designed using detailed 3D BIM models, which allowed for precise fabrication and installation sequencing. This was complemented by base isolation technology at the foundation level to dampen lateral forces.
A systematic, safety-first approach from initial concept to final construction documentation. Discover how Zan-Khan delivers structural integrity.
We begin with a comprehensive review of your project requirements and a detailed geotechnical assessment of the construction site.
Our core phase involves creating precise digital models to simulate stresses, loads, and potential failure points under various conditions.
We integrate all data into a unified Building Information Model, producing actionable, code-compliant structural blueprints for construction teams.
