The following play a particularly important role in redevelopments: the recording and assessment of existing structures, the development and assessment of unconventional construction methods, questions relating to the protection of existing structures – in particular in relation to fire protection – as well as the creation of safety and restoration concepts. The MPA Braunschweig offers a high level of competence in all these questions and offers targeted support for their customers.

There can be many reasons why the fire protection or the loadbearing capacity of a building has to be examined. Frequently, sealing issues or health protection play a role when determining whether and how existing structures can be used in future. The MPA Braunschweig has wide-ranging experience in the examination and evaluation of existing structures, e.g. in relation to loadbearing capacity, fire protection, sealing and health protection. Moreover, it can also provide support with renovations.

In the event of fire damage to loadbearing structural members or fire damage to entire structures, the question is mostly whether the structural member or structure still has sufficient loadbearing capacity or how this can be re-established through renovation. The MPA examines the fire damage on-site, takes samples for further laboratory tests if required, and provides an assessment of the remaining loadbearing capacity of the structural members or the structure based on the findings obtained.
