Steel structures serve as the backbone for countless industrial, logistical, agricultural, and public infrastructures. Over time, factors such as corrosion, unforeseen loads, functional changes, or the need to meet updated regulatory standards require professional rehabilitation and upgrading. This process must be executed through a broad engineering lens, balancing safety, efficiency, and budget.
Axelrod Group specializes in the rehabilitation and upgrading of existing steel structures. We tailor solutions to the current and future designation of the building while fully considering operational, environmental, and architectural constraints.
Material Fatigue and Corrosion: Addressing rust, cracks, and loss of structural strength due to natural wear and tear.
Repurposing of the Structure: Adjusting for a new use or changes in load requirements.
Standard Compliance: Enhancing resilience to meet updated seismic, fire, or snow-load regulations.
System Integration: Adapting the structure for new technology, lighting, communication, or air systems.
Architectural Enhancement: Improving aesthetics through cladding, industrial coatings, and the integration of new materials.
Structural Survey: Assessment of the current state of the construction.
Technical Testing: Measuring strength, flexibility, and signs of corrosion or deformation.
Advanced Diagnostics: Utilizing laser scanning and thermal diagnostics.
Load Calculations: Analyzing current and future load-bearing requirements.
Structural Customization: Designing supplementary steel components and structural reinforcements.
System Integration: Planning the incorporation of air conditioning, lighting, and control systems into the upgrade.
Surface Treatment: Sandblasting, re-galvanization, or high-end industrial painting.
Reinforcement: Strengthening columns, beams, and foundations.
Component Replacement: Swapping out damaged profiles or parts.
Infrastructure: Adding new infrastructure or repairing existing ones.
Smart Integration: Connecting to smart management systems.
Functional Adaptation: Adjusting structures for clean rooms, green energy systems, or robotic operations.
Safety Excellence: High-altitude work conducted under strict safety standards.
Advanced Equipment: Cutting-edge welding, transport, cutting, and painting technologies.
Digital Planning: Design utilizing BIM and CAD software.
Skilled Execution Teams: Highly experienced and certified professionals.
Rehabilitating and upgrading a steel structure requires a spatial vision that understands the building’s current function and its future operational needs. With Axelrod Group, you receive more than just a repair—it is a true functional, safety-oriented, and aesthetic upgrade.
