Assessing the safety of an existing building needs a very different mindset from designing a new building. This article discusses how to approach the assessment and some of the key questions which need to be answered, such as the extent to which we can rely on past performance and what margin of safety is acceptable. The article does not claim to have all the answers, but it is hoped these can be covered in forthcoming guidance from the Institution of Structural Engineers.

This article describes the feasibility studies, investigations, analysis, structural health monitoring, digital twinning, and structural adequacy verification of the repurposed 50-storey Quay Quarter Tower in Sydney, Australia. The design life of the retained building was extended by 50 years with minimum structural intervention. The adaptive reuse increased the net lettable area from 45 000m2 to 90 000m2. The 45-year-old retained components provided structural integrity for the accelerated construction programme and 80% of the lateral strength and stiffness with minimum intervention for the upgraded building. The digital twinning technology facilitated safe and speedy construction and conserved 12 079t of embodied carbon, with a carbon footprint for the gross internal area of 247kgCO2e/m2. The innovative engineering processes enabled the client, AMP, to achieve its aspirations for a unique world-class commercial building using a comprehensive approach to reducing embodied and operational carbon.

The landmark Grade II* listed Battersea Power Station in London has been sympathetically transformed from a much-loved industrial relic into a vibrant 21st century destination. The redevelopment of the 2 500 00sq.ft building (approx. 230 000m2) was carried out as Phase 2 of an eight-phase, 42-acre regeneration of this former brownfield site on the banks of the River Thames. This article presents a summary of the substantial engineering work undertaken to bring Battersea Power Station back to life. An extremely technically and logistically challenging project has been redeveloped through a series of well-thought- through, simple, yet elegant and buildable solutions to preserve the existing fabric, integrate it seamlessly with the new, and give this icon a new lease of life.
