Building Strengthening Show (BSS)

The Need

It is well-documented that there is a large number of old buildings in the country that either have not been sufficiently maintained or were designed according to outdated seismic regulations. Many of these buildings show significant damage from previous earthquakes or from abandonment. On the other hand, the constantly growing demand for buildings, whether for commercial use (e.g., hotels) or residential purposes, inevitably leads to the repurposing of buildings, making the utilization of old buildings imperative by adapting them to current standards. This creates a large market that is currently in full development and is seeking more and more professionals with high-level expertise.

At this moment, there is a noticeable lack in the market of both experienced design offices and specialized teams providing solutions for the repair/strengthening of buildings.
