Rehabilitation
INTEMAC’s Rehabilitation service is characterized by its comprehensive approach and deep knowledge in the restoration and improvement of structures, with special emphasis on historic buildings and civil works. The high specialization and extensive experience of INTEMAC technicians allow effective and precise technical assistance, both in the drafting phase of the project and during the execution of the works.
The in-depth understanding of ancient construction techniques, materials and execution processes is complemented by the most advanced techniques of analysis, laboratory and on-site tests, guaranteeing optimal and safe solutions.

Having adequate preliminary studies and the advice of specialists avoids unforeseen events and guarantees the success of the project.
INTEMAC approaches rehabilitation from several angles, including preliminary studies in historic constructions, analysis of alternatives, basic and execution projects in structures and architecture, thus ensuring the viability and safety of each operation.
In addition, INTEMAC offers Technical Assistance in repair and reinforcement of structures, with highly specialized technicians to define and implement the necessary interventions in buildings and civil works. The collaboration can be extended to the drafting of projects, with its own laboratory that provides invaluable support in the monitoring and control of rehabilitation.
INTEMAC’s independence and impartiality, together with its high degree of technical specialization, positions the entity as a key ally in the provision of effective advice. This service is completed with construction management, monitoring and control of certifications, construction supervision and quality assurance, fundamental aspects for the success of rehabilitation projects that seek not only to preserve the architectural legacy but also to adapt it to contemporary and future needs.
Previous Studies in Historic Buildings
The high specialization of INTEMAC technicians and their extensive experience in the studies of the state of historic buildings, allow us to provide effective technical assistance in the drafting of the Project or during the execution of the rehabilitation works in historic buildings.
As a result of the aforementioned specialization and experience, INTEMAC Technicians specialized in this field have a deep knowledge of the construction techniques, materials, execution processes, critical points, etc. in these historic constructions, and know the most advanced techniques of analysis, laboratory and in situ tests and auscultation. INTEMAC’s Laboratory, with extensive experience in the tests required for this type of construction, is a valuable help in the preliminary studies and in the monitoring of the rehabilitation.
Experience has clearly highlighted the risk of undertaking Rehabilitation Projects without the necessary prior studies, and without the adequate advice of specialists in the very diverse fields involved in this type of process. This is the most effective way to guarantee the safety and viability of the Rehabilitation operation, and avoid unforeseen events during execution.
INTEMAC can even collaborate with the drafting of the Project, in cases of rehabilitation in civil works, and also in building.

Projects for the execution of structures and architecture.
INTEMAC is a specialized organization uniquely suited to provide Technical Assistance to those who must carry out a Project or execute Rehabilitation works. It can even collaborate with the drafting of the Project, in cases of rehabilitation in civil works, and in collaboration with external architects also in building.

The Laboratory that INTEMAC has is a valuable aid in previous studies and in the monitoring of rehabilitation processes.
The independence and impartiality of INTEMAC and the high degree of specialization of its technicians make us in the best conditions to provide effective advice and impartiality

Technical assistance to repair and/or reinforcement work.
The repair and reinforcement of structures are actions that require a high degree of specialization, since many of the techniques, materials, commissioning procedures, etc. differ from those usual for new constructions.
INTEMAC has technicians with a high degree of specialization in this type of intervention, both in building and civil works. There are many works in which INTEMAC has collaborated in the definition and execution of repairs of damage to structures, and structural reinforcements.
INTEMAC’s collaboration goes from the preliminary study to define precisely which elements require intervention and of what type, to the definition of said intervention for its development in the corresponding project. It can even collaborate with the drafting of the Project, in cases of rehabilitation in civil works, and in collaboration with external architects also in building.
The Laboratory that INTEMAC has is a valuable help, especially in the monitoring and control of the intervention
- Project management.
- Monitoring and control of work certifications.
- Construction supervision.
- Assurance of the quality of the work.
