The present project concerns the Rehabilitation of the Palace of Justice Building in Seia. Based on the approved Preliminary Study and the technical report prepared by the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, within the framework of the contract signed with the Institute for Financial Management and Justice Equipment, I.P., we were entrusted with developing the Rehabilitation Project of the Palace of Justice Building in Seia, including structure, façades, and roofs.
The construction of the building took place between 1996 and 1997, and it was inaugurated in 1998. It consists of five floors, corresponding to a total gross construction area of approximately 6,196.00 m².
The building was subject to inspection and constructive/hygrothermal analysis, including the assessment of the envelope (roofs and façades) and the most relevant construction elements. A survey and mapping of the detected pathologies were also carried out, along with the identification of their causes and the definition of the intervention methodology to be adopted in the present Rehabilitation Project.
The building is based on a general reinforced concrete structure consisting of pillars and beams with slabs in two sections separated by an expansion joint.
The masonry walls, made of brick or other types of blocks, are simple for the interior walls, with appropriate characteristics, and double for the exterior walls, forming an air cavity. The window frames are in thermolacquered aluminium with double glazing.
For reasons of economy and ease of maintenance, the intention was to use a relatively small number of materials, preferably those originally selected by the architect of the building, with good mechanical resistance and capable of satisfactorily fulfilling the functions required in each location.
