It Starts With An Inspection Concrete Repairs | Maintenance | Engineered Modifications CAULKING FAILURE

EFFLORESCENCE

WEAR AND TEAR

Concrete buildings are engineered to perform over the long haul. Things are bound to happen; severe weather and run-ins with heavy equipment are all but guaranteed. Thankfully, W2E, Fabcon Work 2 Existing, can address structural and cosmetic issues before they turn into something far worse, minimizing or even erasing visible signs of damage.

IMPACT DAMAGE

STRUCTURAL MOVEMENT

INTERIOR CAULK JOINT AND CRACKED CONCRETE

Our inspections include both the inside and outside walls of the building. We check for cracks, the condition of the caulking and for any other visible damage. We also inspect for drainage issues. The inside is inspected for leaks at the top of the wall and for cracks where the floor and walls meet.

STAINING

POOR DRAINAGE

CRACKS

The Fabcon Work 2 Existing team is capable of inspecting and performing repair work not only on structural precast, but on site-cast and Concrete Masonry (CMU), as well. If it's made of concrete, we can repair it.

FACILITY SERVICES

Repair, Retrofit and Maintenance From Routine To Complex, We Have Seen It And Can Do It. When it comes to maintenance, repairs and modifications to commercial concrete structures, Fabcon Work to Existing (W2E) is the only partner you need. From simple patch jobs, caulking, and complex modifications requiring engineering, one call to W2E and the job is nearly done. And thanks to more than 50 years of concrete experience, it'll be done right.

01

Building Inspections

Our inspections include both the inside and outside walls of the building. We check for cracks, and signs of damaged concrete. We also inspect for drainage issues. The inside is inspected for leaks at the top of the wall and for cracks where the concrete floor and walls meet. Once the inspection is completed, which includes a mapping of the entire building, a report is generated identifying areas of concern. The report also includes maintenance and repair recommendations.

A proposal for completing the recommended work is sent separately.

Damage Repairs

Although concrete buildings and structures are engineered to perform for the long haul, neither accidents nor Mother Nature can be avoided forever.

Our concrete restoration contractors have the experience to address both cosmetic and structural damage, regardless of who built your structure.

03

Facilitating Expansion

It’s not uncommon for concrete buildings to be repurposed — churches become car dealerships, warehouses become office buildings, schools become churches. W2E can help with the transition. Cutting a hole in a structural wall might sound straightforward.

It’s not. Because precast panels are highly engineered, a window cannot simply be cut into them; doing so would compromise the structural integrity of the building and make for unsafe working conditions.

Adding or removing dock doors, daylighting features, and man doors, for example, requires the skills of an engineer who understands the structural components of precast… and a cutting crew with surgical skills.

04

General Maintenance

All commercial concrete structures require routine care to prevent long-term damage. Our concrete services include concrete resurfacing, recaulking, crack repair, and general building wear and tear solutions. W2E can provide all of your maintenance needs.

05

Structural Modifications

As the needs of your business change, what you require of your building might shift too. So, when additional doors, windows, or loading docks are required, it takes more than someone with a concrete saw. Our concrete repair service includes skilled structural modifications handled by engineers and expert crews. Adding (or removing) any kind of opening requires the expertise of an engineer who understands the structural components of your building…and a trained cutting crew with surgical skills.

Engineering Solutions

Some projects will require engineering expertise, whether it’s repairing damage or making structural modifications. W2E can provide a solution using our engineering team that ensures our customers have peace of mind. No matter whether it’s a simple or complex project they should always be reviewed by an engineer to ensure they are done safely and efficiently to meet the design requirements of our customer.

Problem

Solution

Result

The customer contacted Fabcon’s Work to Existing (W2E) team after discovering multiple concerns with an existing precast building. The issues included delaminated panels, extensive cracking, and poor caulking, all of which threatened the building’s structural integrity and performance.

Fabcon recommended a comprehensive building inspection to identify the full scope of the problem areas. Once the inspection was complete, a detailed proposal outlined the necessary repairs and maintenance.

Some repairs required engineering review and design support to safely stabilize the delaminated panels. Fabcon’s Work to Existing crews performed all repairs, including panel restoration, crack remediation, caulking replacement, and structural reinforcement.

The W2E team managed the process from start to finish, delivering a complete turnkey solution for the customer.

The building was fully restored to meet performance and safety expectations. The customer was highly satisfied with Fabcon’s end-to-end service, from inspection through final repairs. Fabcon’s Work to Existing team ensured the structure was once again safe, reliable, and performing as designed — reinforcing confidence in the longevity of the precast investment.
