Context
The Brittany Region launched a large-scale rehabilitation program for its high schools, focusing on improving the energy efficiency of building envelopes (roofs and façades).
Within this framework, CIDECO carried out studies on twelve facilities to assess the allowable additional loads resulting from the installation of insulation, waterproofing layers, and photovoltaic panels.
Operations
- Detailed on-site inspection and analysis of the structural system
- Identification and mapping of existing pathologies
- Survey of the geometric dimensions of structural elements
- Non-destructive and destructive testing depending on structure type
- Pull-off tests on façades
- Calculation of load-bearing capacities
- Strengthening recommendations where required
- Financial estimation of reinforcement works
