About Retrofit Engineering
A professional engineering publication dedicated to advancing global knowledge in structural diagnostics, forensic engineering, and infrastructure rehabilitation since its founding.
Addressing the Global Infrastructure Knowledge Gap
While mainstream civil engineering platforms focus predominantly on the design and construction of new structures, the world's existing built environment demands equal — and often greater — attention.
Ageing infrastructure, climate-induced deterioration, seismic vulnerability, and tightening asset management budgets mean that the ability to accurately assess, diagnose, and rehabilitate existing structures is one of the most critical competencies in modern civil engineering.
Retrofit Engineering was founded to close this gap — providing engineers, researchers, and asset managers with evidence-based, practically applicable knowledge on structural diagnostics, non-destructive evaluation, and rehabilitation engineering.
Academic Rigour
Content is grounded in peer-reviewed research, international standards (IS, ASTM, BS EN, ACI, Eurocode), and documented field studies.
Practical Application
Every article bridges theory and practice — featuring step-by-step procedures, equipment guidance, and interpretation criteria.
Global Perspective
Case studies span diverse geographies, infrastructure types, and climatic conditions, reflecting the global nature of infrastructure challenges.
Target Audience
Retrofit Engineering is designed for the full spectrum of professionals involved in the assessment, maintenance, and rehabilitation of civil infrastructure.
Technical Topics We Cover
The People Behind the Content
Our core editorial panel comprises licensed structural engineers with 15+ years of field experience in condition assessment, rehabilitation design, and forensic investigation.
Contributing researchers from leading civil engineering institutions and infrastructure agencies ensure our content reflects the latest advances in materials science and monitoring technology.
Specialists in GPR, UPV, acoustic emission, and other advanced testing technologies review our methodology-focused articles for accuracy and field applicability.
Our Editorial Policy
Accuracy & Standards Compliance
All technical articles on Retrofit Engineering are reviewed by at least one licensed structural engineer with domain expertise in the relevant subject area. Quantitative claims must reference internationally recognised standards (IS, ASTM, BS EN, ACI, JSCE, Eurocode) or peer-reviewed literature.
Independence & Transparency
We maintain strict editorial independence. Where sponsored content or product case studies appear, they are clearly labelled as such. Product mentions in technical articles do not imply endorsement; comparative performance data is presented impartially.
Author Credentials
Contributing authors are required to disclose their professional qualifications and any relevant conflicts of interest. We prioritise contributions from practising engineers, certified inspectors, and active researchers.
