Process & cold-store upgrades: floor loads, rack/seismic checks, penetrations and hygiene details.
Foundations on poor ground: tension piles, GI columns, slab replacements, and jointless floors where needed.
Operational resilience: drift/deflection control, post-event inseparability, and maintenance-friendly details.
Minimal downtime: Site visits and staged design so operations continue safely.
