| STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
Structural Design & Rehabilitation: SLL has a decent structural department run by experienced professional engineers. Our structural engineers project managers have a long experience in the areas of structural design as well as project management. SLL depends on its structural department to work as a complement to our grouting and underpinning department. SLL structural engineers help in assessing the damages to buildings, decision making in rehabilitation buildings, soil structural interaction studies, and supervision of rehabilitation works. Moreover, this department will provide the structural design of footing systems when need be. Grouting & Underpinning: In addition to performing the various types of field and laboratory testing, SLL has introduced a new line of work which deals in soil improvement and underpinning using the latest technologies. The underpinning operation consists of either the placement of mini pile system to support the existing foundation or by improving the soil underneath the footing using compaction grouting. Compaction grouting consist of injection a cement grout under a designed pressure to displace loose soil and fill the gaps with cement grout. Underpinning using minipiles consist of drilling holes through existing foundation using small (mini) drills capable of drilling in constructed areas. The holes are then filled with high quality high strength is grout. Saudi labs own its mini drill rigs, mixers pumps and grouting equipment. Our grouting and underpinning department is run by highly qualified and well trained engineers who has a wide experience in this work inside and outside the kingdom. Corrosion Studies: Recently, SLL ventured in the field of corrosion studies, our highly qualified team who has a long standing experience in regions such as Australia, south Asia and gulf region, can perform proper corrosion mapping with the proper sampling of concrete and steel, chemical testing of concrete, determination of weak zones and the required proper repair. Moreover, our team has a long experience in supervising cathodic protection projects. |
