Our experience includes the repair and rehabilitation of many parking garages. These garages include precast, prestressed, steel and cast-in place concrete garages. An initial inspection is followed by a written report including a structural evaluation identifying the issues, photographs with a photo location plan, repair recommendations and estimated costs.
Repairs are identified as Immediate Repair, Priority Repair, Routine Maintenance which allows for a scheduled repair sequence and daily traffic flow. Repairs to the traffic bearing main members include concrete spall and crack repairs, steel member strengthening as well as strengthening using carbon fiber strips and plates adhered to the substrate with epoxy adhesive. These repairs consider the in situ drains/drainage pipes, electrical wiring and lighting.
