Historical structures are often viewed as roadblocks in the path of modern construction. However, at Cole GWC, we see them as an opportunity to blend the old with the new, to create a harmonious balance between preserving the past and embracing the future.
We have been involved in several projects where the task was not just to construct new buildings but also to preserve existing historical structures. Specialised techniques, such as underpinning and facadism, allow us to maintain the integrity of historical buildings while constructing modern facilities.
For example, in a recent project adjacent to a heritage site, we used micro-piling to reinforce the existing structure without affecting its aesthetic qualities. We also employed 3D scanning technology to create precise replicas of intricate architectural details, ensuring that any new additions would be in keeping with the original style.
At Cole GWC, we believe that modern construction should not come at the expense of our shared history. Our approach ensures that historical structures are not just preserved but are integrated seamlessly into new developments, offering a glimpse into the past while serving the needs of the present.
