Strengthening the building's seismic resistance and durability to safely operate new equipment.
The design of the factory incorporates structural calculations that take into account the weight and number of machines to be installed. Therefore, the increase in load due to the addition or replacement of machines not included in the initial calculations may exceed the building's allowable load. While this does not hinder normal use, the impact and deterioration on the structural framework due to long-term use will certainly accumulate. Furthermore, the load from a major earthquake (the seismic forces acting on the building) will increase in proportion to the amount of equipment added. Our company conducts structural verification related to changes in equipment specifications, and if reinforcement is necessary, we will also propose a plan for that. If the structural calculation documents for the building cannot be found, it is possible to restore the calculation documents from a site survey and then conduct structural verification based on that. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Company information
Yoshizawa Architectural Structural Design Co., Ltd. is a comprehensive design office that consistently handles everything from planning and design to construction and after-service for factory rebuilding and renewal in-house. There are various reasons for wanting to renew an aging factory or introduce new equipment, but the current situation is fraught with challenges, such as the inability to stop production, the costs associated with relocating to a temporary factory, and the resulting decrease in productivity. Our company employs methods like "Cover Build," which involves constructing a steel frame over the existing factory while keeping production equipment in place, and "Separate," which divides the construction period into phases (e.g., Phase 1 and Phase 2) to avoid a decline in operational rates during rebuilding. Additionally, to assess the potential damage buildings may incur during an earthquake, we conduct various seismic surveys, including crack investigations, concrete strength assessments, and rebar layout measurements. Based on the survey results, we propose seismic reinforcement plans. We focus on preserving the assets of companies, including buildings, machinery, materials, and products. Furthermore, we ensure the prompt recovery and continuity of operations. Supporting everything from seismic diagnosis to reinforcement comprehensively is what we, "Yoshizawa," are dedicated to.
