Structural Reinforcement
When Dillard's added a catwalk to their Fort Worth facility, the existing roof trusses had to be reinforced to carry it. That's structural reinforcement: making an existing building capable of carrying a new load safely.
What this covers
Structural reinforcement adds steel to an existing structure — trusses, columns, framing — so it can safely carry a new load that wasn't part of the original design: added equipment, a new mezzanine, or an access structure like a catwalk. It requires reading the existing structure correctly before adding a single weld.
Materials & process
Structural steel reinforcement fit to existing framing, welded to carry calculated new loads. Work is coordinated with the load path the new structure or equipment actually creates.
Typical applications
- Roof truss reinforcement for added structures
- Column and support framing upgrades
- Load-path corrections for new equipment
- Pre-installation structural assessment and fixes
