Israel lies in an earthquake zone, and many older buildings were constructed before today's stricter standards. Strengthening a building is not a luxury but a safety necessity – it can be the difference between a structure that withstands a tremor and one that collapses.
Why it matters
Buildings constructed before 1980 usually do not meet the current seismic standard. Strengthening them protects lives and property and raises the value of the asset. It is an investment in your family's safety.
Strengthening methods
Strengthening includes adding load-bearing elements, thickening columns and walls, and reinforcing the foundations. Everything is designed by a structural engineer and executed precisely to the drawings.
The link to TAMA 38
Strengthening is usually carried out within a TAMA 38 project, which combines reinforcement with upgrading the building at a developer's expense. This gives you a building that is both safe and renewed. Professional supervision ensures correct execution.
