Conservation Technology
Lingineering is well-versed in the appropriate methods of treating and conserving building materials, designs, techniques, aesthetics and integrity. Our conservation guideline includes minimal intervention, appropriate materials, reversible methods, and full documentation of all work.
A knowledge of the whole life of a building brings an essential understanding of its features and its problems. With the understanding of the history and changes of the built environment, careful selection of the conservation technology encourages measures that protect and maintain buildings in their current state and prevent further damage and deterioration.
Exterior Restoration
Lingineering can develop and implement plans to improve the physical and aesthetic properties of your buildings. It is our goal to design intelligent and cost-effective solutions that ensure the building's long term durability and safety.
With buildings and infrastructures under tremendous abuse due to environmental exposure, a regular maintenance program and extensive repair work plan are equally important. We design both short and long term plans for building restoration in order to protect an asset's structural integrity.
Forensic Investigation
Lingineering can seek out and pinpoint the critical causes of building system, structural, and material failure. We will thoroughly test and analyze the existing condition using the most effective equipment and present best possible solutions. Our purpose is to provide you with trusted solutions in the investigation, resolution, and prevention of building related defects and ensuing damage.
Historic Preservation
Lingineering is experienced with historic buildings and traditional building technologies. Our approach is to develop solutions that respect the owner's goals and budget as well as the historic character of the building and its site.
We have an excellent working relationship with the historic preservation authority to ensure the optimal coordination in order to eliminate potential problems or delays.
