Structural refurbishment
This service focuses on renovating structural elements of existing buildings, such as load-bearing walls, beams, and columns. We reinforce and restore these structures to improve their stability and extend their lifespan, while complying with current safety and building standards.
Conversion of concrete structures
Our expertise covers the transformation of concrete structures, including modifying configurations for new uses or improvements. This service includes adding or modifying slabs, creating openings in concrete walls, and reinforcing existing foundations to support additional loads.
Facade restoration
We offer a specialised façade restoration service for concrete and masonry buildings, including cleaning, crack repair, and replacement of damaged sections. This service is crucial for preserving the structural integrity of the building and maintaining its aesthetic appearance.
Structural extensions
We offer a specialised façade restoration service for concrete and masonry buildings, including cleaning, crack repair, and replacement of damaged sections. This service is crucial for preserving the structural integrity of the building and maintaining its aesthetic appearance.
Seismic reinforcement and safety measures
We offer seismic reinforcement and safety services to increase the resilience of buildings in the event of earthquakes. This includes installing anti-seismic systems, reinforcing joints and improving the connection between existing structural elements.
Crack sealing
This service involves identifying, assessing and treating cracks in concrete to prevent water infiltration and reinforcement corrosion. We use advanced techniques such as epoxy or polyurethane resin injection, which are not only effective in restoring structural integrity, but also in extending the life of the concrete.
Strengthening structures
Our structural reinforcement service increases the resilience and load-bearing capacity of existing buildings. Using modern techniques such as adding carbon fibres or new reinforcement, we ensure that structures are ready to meet current load and safety requirements.
Concrete remediation
At Novalla Construction SA, we offer specialised remediation and protection services for concrete structures, ensuring their durability and integrity. Our expertise covers :
- Scraping and levelling : Removal of deteriorated concrete and application of levelling materials to restore surfaces.
- Treatment of reinforcements : Passivation of exposed steel to prevent corrosion and ensure structural longevity.
- Application of corrosion inhibitors : Use of inhibitors to protect concrete against carbonation and the corrosive effects of de-icing salts.
- Cathodic protection : Installation of systems to control electrochemical activity and protect reinforced concrete.
- Protective coatings : Application of specialised coatings to resist chemical attack and weathering.
Our rigorous process and ISO 9001 and 14001 certifications guarantee superior quality execution and an environmentally friendly approach to all remediation projects.
Underpinning
The underpinning service at Novalla Construction SA is specially designed to reinforce and secure existing structures during masonry and construction projects.Our work aims to consolidate the foundations and load-bearing elements of buildings, ensuring that they are adapted to new structural requirements and increased loads :
- Foundation reinforcement : We reinforce foundations to support modifications or additions to existing structures, such as extensions or loft conversions, using advanced masonry techniques.
- Creation of new openings : Adaptation of load-bearing walls for the insertion of new doors or windows, requiring precise underpinning work to maintain structural integrity.
- Stabilisation of load-bearing walls : Consolidation of existing load-bearing walls using underpinning techniques to ensure their ability to support additional loads due to internal or external alterations.
- Adaptability : Underpinning allows existing structures to be modified for new uses, adapting the foundations to new design or functionality requirements.
- Specialised masonry techniques : Use of specialised masonry to support and improve structures during underpinning work, ensuring safety and compliance with building standards.
These underpinning services are essential for projects that require not only aesthetic modifications but also significant structural reinforcement. At Novalla Construction SA, we are committed to providing reliable and sustainable solutions that meet the specific challenges of masonry and construction.
