Structural Restoration
New Life for your Buildings
Every building needs restoration or repair at some point in its life. Regular inspections are critical to identifying these needs and keeping your structure in good working order.
Neglecting this can have you paying more in maintenance costs and reduce your building’s service life.
Crosier Kilgour provides engineering assessments and comprehensive investigations to improve safety, performance, and functionality in your building.
Crosier Kilgour has experience in the evaluation, assessment, and repair of the following structures:
- Cast-in-place concrete
- Precast concrete
- Post-tensioned concrete
- Conventional and historic masonry
- Timber framing
- Structural steel

Parkade Evaluation and Repair
Exposed to the elements, parking structures are subject to a uniquely harsh environment due to moisture, and chlorides from road salts, as well as temperature changes. Crosier Kilgour assesses and develops cost-effective solutions that help extend service life, and keep your structure safe, functional, and durable. We have experience with all types of parking structures including cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete, and post-tensioned concrete.
Post-Tensioned Concrete
Post-tensioned construction became prominent in the 1960’s and was used in numerous Winnipeg structures. Unfortunately, early post-tensioned systems were prone to deterioration from exposure to moisture and chlorides from road salts resulting in the premature failure of individual tendons, and even complete structures. Since the 1980’s, Crosier Kilgour has amassed considerable experience with the unique techniques required to evaluate and repair of post-tensioned structures, completing numerous projects annually.

Foundation Waterproofing
Building foundations contend with an environment altogether different from above-grade areas.
