Historic buildings and ancient monuments
The preservation and restoration of historic buildings requires a skilled and often restrained engineering approach to maintain the integrity of the original stone facades. Whilst all aged properties are prone to some deterioration over time, regular surveys and inspections of the fabric and subsequent restoration work can help to prolong the lifespan of a building. We have applied our engineering expertise to many challenging conservation projects in Edinburgh - itself a world heritage site – and in the central belt of Scotland as well as across the United Kingdom. Our work in this area includes bridges, churches, monuments and major institutional buildings, and often requires strategies to preserve or replace intricate and highly detailed and fragile stonework.
