With traditional building work the structural materials are often disturbed by various pathological processes (damp, attack from climactic agents, erosion).
This type of study focusses on determining the physical and chemical features, research into durability and compatibility with other materials, and studying repair treatments. RETINEO INGENIERÍA is qualified to study materials ranging from the traditional (concrete, steel, brick manufacture, manufacturing of rubblework and masonry, mud walling, wood) to the most advanced (resins, carbon-fibre, aramid fibre).
