Evaluation & Restoration Services

KLINE provides structural evaluation and restoration services throughout the life of an existing structure, from initial condition assessment and investigation through repair, rehabilitation, and strengthening design.

Condition Assessments & Structural Evaluations: Evaluation of existing structural conditions; investigation of cracking, corrosion, deterioration, and structural distress; structural capacity assessments; façade and balcony structural evaluations; and destructive and non-destructive testing coordination.
Engineered Repair Strategies: Development of repair and rehabilitation strategies based on observed conditions, structural performance, constructability, and project goals. Services include concrete and steel repair, post-tensioning system repair, and repair drawings and technical documentation.
Structural Strengthening & Code Upgrades: Strengthening of existing structures for deterioration, increased loads, changes in use, or applicable code requirements. Solutions may include FRP systems, external post-tensioning, and other project-specific strengthening methods.
Maintenance & Capital Repair Planning: Development of prioritized maintenance and repair plans to help owners understand structural needs, plan future interventions, and support long-term asset performance and service life.

Specialized Expertise in Concrete Structures
KLINE brings specialized expertise in the evaluation, repair, and strengthening of post-tensioned and reinforced concrete structures, including complex and aging structural systems.

Our Approach: From Evaluation To Repair

Successful structural repairs begin with understanding the existing structure and the underlying cause of deterioration or distress. KLINE combines technical evaluation, engineering analysis, and practical repair experience to develop solutions tailored to each project's needs.

Evaluate

Assess existing structural conditions through document review, field observations, testing, and investigation, as appropriate.

Diagnose

Identify the cause, extent, and structural significance of deterioration, damage, or distress.

Develop a Strategy

Develop engineered repair, rehabilitation, strengthening, or maintenance strategies that consider structural performance, constructability, project goals, and long-term service life.

Support Implementation

Provide repair documents and engineering support during construction to help address field conditions and support the successful execution of the repair strategy.
