👉 Raised engineering refers to the practice of elevating structures, such as buildings or infrastructure, on a raised platform or foundation, typically to improve stability, drainage, and accessibility. This technique is often employed in areas prone to flooding, where elevating structures prevents water damage and ensures safety. Raised foundations can also enhance thermal efficiency by reducing heat transfer from the ground to the building, thus lowering energy costs. Additionally, this approach can improve accessibility for people with disabilities and enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of a site. By elevating structures, engineers can address various environmental, functional, and social challenges while maintaining or even improving the structural integrity of buildings.
