Advising on structural repairs following a fire at a factory building

We inspected a fire damaged factory building, where the structure remained standing however the adjacent connected building had collapsed following the fire and was to be demolished.

MNP advised on the structural repairs necessary to reinstate the remaining building which was to be re-clad, the steel frame cleaned, grit blasted and repainted.  Additional remedial works included replacement of some columns and beams, replacement of areas of the floor slab and a regime of steelwork testing to prove that the material properties of steel frame elements were unaffected by the heat of the fire.  Meanwhile, a new manufacturing and office facility was constructed to replace the one destroyed by the fire.
