👉 Preservation engineering is a specialized field focused on the protection and maintenance of structures, artifacts, and historical objects from deterioration due to environmental factors, biological agents, and physical damage. It involves the application of scientific principles, materials technology, and innovative techniques to assess, monitor, and mitigate risks that threaten the integrity and longevity of preserved items. Preservation engineers employ a range of strategies, including environmental control, material analysis, conservation treatments, and preventive measures, to ensure the long-term survival and accessibility of cultural heritage. By integrating advanced technologies such as non-destructive testing, digital modeling, and sustainable materials, preservation engineering plays a crucial role in safeguarding our collective history and cultural identity for future generations.
