Seismic Strengthening

We strengthen earthquake-prone buildings across New Zealand, from heritage structures to complex upgrades in live environments.

Naylor Love brings technical expertise, nationwide capacity and a solutions-focused approach to seismic strengthening projects. We specialise in protecting the value and character of existing buildings while creating safer, more resilient environments for the people who use them.

Seismic strengthening often reveals unforeseen issues, but it can also create opportunities to complete other upgrades efficiently and with minimal disruption. Our experienced team and in-house structural engineers work with clients, consultants and subcontractors to deliver the best outcome for each project.

Our seismic strengthening services include:

  • Foundation strengthening, underpinning, new piles, footings and retrofitted base isolation
  • Shear walls, structural steel framing, bracing and reinforced masonry
  • Seismic gaps, façade and beam restraints and strengthening of slabs and structural elements
  • Digital modelling to plan complex work, test sequencing, identify clashes and support reinstatement
  • Staging, logistics and communication to reduce disruption in occupied buildings
