modern structure’s in terms of the strength, design &
safety standards and also the I.S codal provisions

upliftment is carried out within each and every corner of
the structure, which is extremely difficult in case of
repair works considering the massive repairs cost
involved. Moreover, the foundations of the structure
cannot be restored.
