STRUCTURAL REHABILITATION

STRUCTURAL REHABILITATION

Structural rehabilitation is a periodic maintenance requirement, especially for older structures. Our structural rehabilitation services for high-rise buildings, seawalls and parking garages include structure condition assessment, testing, specifications preparation, bid & permit document preparation, and project management.

Services:

STRUCTURAL CONDITION ASSESSMENTS

Inspection & testing of high-rise condominiums, hotels, seawalls and parking structures for structural damage and preparation of repair estimates. Assessment methods include visual inspections, acoustic sounding, Schmidt Hammer, ground penetrating radar, infrared thermography, and corrosion testing.

RETROFIT DESIGNS

Existing structures often require restoring deteriorated structural elements to either originally intended strength or to carry additional loads. In either case, understanding the original design through existing plans (if available) and service loads are critical in evaluating feasibility of repairing, strengthening with carbon fiber, and / or retrofitting.

SPECIFICATIONS PREPARATION

Preparation of detailed specifications including repair materials, repair methodology, and paint specifications for structural rehabilitation projects.

BIDDING AND PERMIT DOCUMENTS

Preparation of detailed bid documents including contract critique, contractor selection, developing comprehensive scope of work and permit documents.
