Transformation | Renovation

Our expertise covers the transformation of concrete structures, including the modification of configurations for new uses or improvements. This service includes adding or modifying slabs, creating openings in concrete walls and reinforcing existing foundations to support additional loads.

We offer a specialist façade restoration service for concrete and masonry buildings, including cleaning, repairing cracks and replacing damaged sections. This service is crucial to preserving the structural integrity of the building and maintaining its aesthetic appearance.

Carrying out structural extensions, such as adding new volumes or storeys, requires expertise in masonry and civil engineering. We manage the entire process, from design to completion, ensuring that all extensions are seamlessly integrated into the existing structure and comply with local regulations.

We offer seismic strengthening and securing services to increase the resilience of buildings to earthquakes. This includes installing anti-seismic systems, reinforcing joints and improving the connection between existing structural elements.

This service involves identifying, assessing and treating cracks in concrete to prevent water ingress and corrosion of reinforcement. We use advanced techniques such as the injection of epoxy or polyurethane resins, which are not only effective in restoring structural strength but also in extending the life of concrete.

Our structural strengthening service increases the resilience and load-bearing capacity of existing structures. Using modern techniques such as adding carbon fibre or new reinforcement, we ensure that structures are ready to meet today’s load and safety requirements.

At Novalla Construction SA, we offer specialist restoration and protection services for concrete structures, ensuring their durability and integrity. Our expertise covers :

• Purging and patching: Removal of deteriorated concrete sections and application of patching materials to restore surfaces.
• Reinforcement treatment: Passivation of exposed steel to prevent corrosion and guarantee structural longevity.
• Application of Corrosion Inhibitors: Use of inhibitors to protect against carbonation and the corrosive effects of de-icing salts.
• Cathodic protection: Installation of systems to control electrochemical activity and protect reinforced concrete.
• Protective coatings: Application of specialised coatings to resist chemical attack and weathering.

Our rigorous processes and ISO 9001 and 14001 certifications guarantee top-quality workmanship and an environmentally-friendly approach to all wastewater treatment projects.

Novalla Construction SA’s underpinning service is specially designed to strengthen and secure existing structures during masonry and construction projects. The aim of our work is to consolidate the foundations and load-bearing elements of buildings, ensuring that they can adapt to new structural requirements and increased loads:

• Foundation reinforcement: We reinforce foundations to support modifications or additions to the existing structure, such as extensions or elevations, using advanced masonry techniques.
• Creation of New Openings: Adaptation of load-bearing walls to accommodate new doors or windows, requiring precise underpinning work to maintain structural integrity.
• Stabilisation of Load-Bearing Walls: Consolidation of existing load-bearing walls using underpinning techniques to guarantee their capacity to support additional loads due to internal or external transformations.
• Adaptability: Underpinning allows existing structures to be modified for new uses, by adapting the foundations to new design or functional requirements.
• Specialised Masonry Techniques: Use of specialised masonry to support and enhance structures during underpinning work, ensuring safety and compliance with building standards.

These underpinning services are essential for projects that require not only aesthetic modifications but also significant structural reinforcement. At Novalla Construction SA, we are committed to offering reliable and durable solutions that meet the specific challenges of masonry and construction.
