Building Strengthening Show (BSS)

The Need

The existence of a large number of old buildings in the country, which have either not been adequately maintained or are designed with old seismic regulations, is documented. Many of them show significant damage from past earthquakes or from abandonment. On the other hand, the ever-growing demand for buildings, either for professional use (e.g. hotels) or for residential use, inevitably leads to the reuse of buildings, making it imperative to make use of old buildings by adapting them to new standards. This creates a large market which is currently in full growth and is increasingly demanding more and more professionals with high expertise.

At this point in time, it is noted that there is a lack of both experienced design offices and specialized crews that provide solutions for the repair/reinforcement of buildings.

The Solution

The Building Strengthening Show is a ground-breaking Event (Conference and Exhibition) for Building Repair/Reinforcement, which comes to address the serious, documented need described above.
