Design: reconstruction

Reconstruction is the restructuring of a construction project that has been commissioned in accordance with established procedures, involving a change in its geometric dimensions and/or functional purpose, as a result of which there is a change in its main technical and economic characteristics. Reconstruction involves the complete or partial maintenance of bearing and enclosing structures and the temporary suspension of the facility’s operation—either in its entirety or in parts (if they are autonomous) —while the work is being carried out.
