SGH performed a condition assessment of the seven-level, 100,000 sq ft structure. Our work for the cast-in-place parking garage with post-tensioned concrete slabs, beams, and girders, included the following:
- A condition survey of the elevated parking decks to document the approximate location and extent of deterioration, distress, leakage, and previous repairs
- Observations at exploratory openings throughout the parking decks to document the condition of the slab post-tensioning and mild steel reinforcement
- A pachometer survey to spot check the placement and cover over reinforcement
- Petrographic examination and chloride content tests on extracted core samples
- Calculations to spot-check the load carrying capacity of a representative portion of parking deck slab
- Development of remedial work alternatives
- Cost estimates for rehabilitation and maintenance
