RisK management

Through active risk management, we can identify and avoid potential risks early on in projects. This approach has enabled us to successfully complete numerous projects in existing buildings and healthcare facilities that were still in operation.

Risk Analysis

We analyse potential risks early on in the project. The following are analysed:

  • Risks of Building Site
  • Risks of Foundation
  • Risks of Pollutant
  • Risks of Building Material
  • Fire Safety Risks in Existing Building
  • Performance Distruptions during Construction

Risks of Building Site

Together with building site assessors and structural engineers, we evaluate the initial situation and develop the most cost-effective foundation and excavation concept for the client.

Risks of Foundation

HENKE + PARTNER has extensive expertise in dealing with construction projects in the immediate vicinity of existing structures. Together with structural engineers, we develop optimal foundation concepts. We pay particular attention to water drainage, accompanying explosive ordnance detection and minimisation of existing risks.

Risks of Pollutant

Before the project starts, we coordinate sampling with experts in hazardous substance and building material analysis, thus ensuring maximum clarity with regard to potential risks.

Risks of Building Material

Existing building materials can pose considerable risks, especially in existing buildings. We use professional analysis to identify these risks and assess the potential of existing structures. For instance, we measure the density of building materials in existing masonry or foundations when carrying out extension work by adding additional storeys to existing buildings.

Fire Safety Risks in Existing Building

By selectively opening existing building elements on-site, we gain an overview of potential fire safety risks from previous construction work. Often, outdated conditions must be brought up to modern fire protection standards. HENKE + PARTNER works closely with the fire protection consultant to develop the optimal fire safety and evacuation concept, tailored to the specific local conditions.

Performance Distruptions during Construction

Prevention

Preliminary assessment of potential risks through a detailed structural condition assessment and evaluation of possible ‘Radiation risks’.

Risk Occurrence

An unplanned event is analysed under the coordination of HENKE + PARTNER in order to reach a decision.

Risk Evaluation

Assessment of cost and time implications

Optimization Phase

Preparation of alternative solutions under the guidance of HENKE + PARTNER, and recommendation of the best possible solution to the client.

Best-Way

HENKE + PARTNER integrates the coordinated solution concept into the construction process.
