Heritage
Our Philosophy
Heritage engineering requires a balance of technical expertise, conservation sensitivity, and creativity. Our philosophy is to preserve the cultural and historical value of heritage assets while adapting them for modern use and performance. We recognise that every heritage building has unique materials, construction techniques, and stories to tell.
By combining traditional knowledge with advanced engineering tools — such as finite element analysis, digital modelling, and non-invasive testing — we deliver solutions that respect heritage significance while ensuring safety, usability, and compliance with current standards.
Working closely with heritage architects and following the Burra Charter guidelines, we strive to deliver outcomes that honour the past while securing the future of these treasured assets.
