新加坡是個南洋彈丸小國，國家歷史也僅有 200 年;1965 年獨立之 前為英國殖民政府所管轄，國家的體制，語言文化，教育甚至建築物兼有 英國和南洋的風格和色彩。
獨立後，經濟迅速發展，政府大力推動建設，外資企業開始投資在各行各業，土地大事開發，許多古蹟，戰前歷史建築物都被迫譲位給新的發展。
由於對保護歷史建築物缺乏知識和明確的政策，亦無優良的地基加強技術，導致許多業主和發展商在無知之下拆除了許多富有歷史和文化價值的建築物。
政府在 1986 年授權市區重建局設立専為保護歷史建築物的主管單 位，明確規定和規劃古蹟和歷史建築物的保護，並劃分為 10 個保護區， 大力鼓勵和支持保護歷史建築物，因此興起了一股保護和投資于歷史建築 物的熱潮。
市區重建區明文規定、歷史建築物若有文化價值的外牆，不能拆除，必須保持原貌，加固結構和基礎加強，因此修復建築商必須具備適當的機器和技術，才能順利完成這些任務。
個案公司前身為瑞典和本地合資建築商，具有豐富的基礎加強技 術，融入本地建築業智慧，改進技術和機械以適應本地的環境。在 1990 年，成為本地公司後，仍繼續創新和精益求精的精神，硏發了許多關於歷 史建築物地基加強的技術，不少建築物的地基加強工程都有它的蹤跡。
此硏究包括了傳統地基施工技術和硏發技術的不同之處，並進一步分析個案公司的創新能力和對市場應變的能力。

Singapore is a small country with a South Sea projectile. It has only 200 years of national history. Before independence in 1965, it was under the jurisdiction of the British colonial government. The country's system, culture, language, education and even buildings have the style and character of the British and South Seas.
After independence, the economy developed rapidly, and the government embarked on a plan to promote construction vigorously. Foreign enterprises began to invest in all types of business, land developments etc. Many historical sites and pre-war historical buildings were rapidly replaced by new developments.
Owing the absence of knowledge and clear policies for the conservation of historical buildings, and coupled with the lack of foundation strengthening technology available, many buildings with historical and cultural values were demolished by owners and developers out of ignorance.
In 1986, the government appointed the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) to set up a competent authority to protect historical buildings, clearly define and plan the protection of historical buildings. This has led to the rise in the protection and investment of historical buildings.
The URA specifically stipulated that if the historical building has cultural value, the external walls shall not be demolished. Therefore, the restoration builders must have appropriate machinery and technology to restore all these buildings.
The company under the case study (ABV Engineering Pte Ltd) was formerly a Swedish and local joint-venture company. Equipped with the good knowledge of local building, structural & foundation strengthening technology, they improved their capability to adapt to the local environment. After becoming a local company in 1993, it continues to innovate and strive for excellence, and has produced numerous new techniques for strengthening the foundation of historical buildings. Many buildings were strengthened using such technology.
This study includes the difference between the traditional foundation strengthening method and new innovative technology. It also analyses the case company’s ability to innovate and adapt to the market changes successfully in this sector.
