SEISMIC STRENGTHENING
Earthquakes are a real and present risk in New Zealand. Being prepared is much better than dealing with the consequences. Seismic strengthening adds stability and resilience to an existing structure, to preserve its viability in an earthquake-prone country. We help ensure you get an effective and economical outcome.
Legislation and building standards have changed since the Canterbury earthquakes in 2010/11, as have the expectations of building occupants and insurers.
RCS Construction offers a specialist service to strengthen earthquake-prone buildings and structures. We work with you to maintain the value of your asset and the welfare of the occupants.

One of the shops was a 24-hour bakery and another was a flight simulator.
