Turnkey Design Build Services

Safety 24/7

STRUCTURAL can provide turnkey single source design build services by combining our preconstruction and construction expertise with our engineering partners and STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES products. The results are faster and more cost efficient quality solutions.

A focus on proactive safety programs and QA/ QC procedures ensures that STRUCTURAL can deliver quality repairs while protecting the general public, crews, and surrounding structures and vehicles.

Services You Need for Repair & Maintenance PARKING STRUCTURE SERVICES - FREE INSPECTION Parking structures require regular inspections and maintenance because they are subject to harsher conditions than most structures – vehicular traffic and moisture and temperature changes from the weather. Concrete cracks, related to applied loads, and corrosion of reinforcing and other embedded metals, are some of the top reasons structural deterioration occurs.

The varying environment and wear and tear can take a heavy toll on parking structures if a plan for proper maintenance and repair isn’t developed and implemented.

Together with our engineering partners and STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES, STRUCTURAL provides proactive top-to-bottom reviews that help owners catch small problems before they lead to costly damage, safety issues, and disruption to operations.

We offer a free inspection to help you understand the current condition of your structures.

Services You Need for Repair & Maintenance PARKING STRUCTURE SERVICES - FULL INVESTIGATION Working with our engineering partners, STRUCTURAL provides full investigation services that employ precise techniques and advanced testing to determine the current condition of your parking structure and provide you with prioritized repair recommendations that include order of magnitude pricing.

The combination of the design expertise of our engineering partners and our hands-on construction team provides more complete and cost-efficient investigations that reduce unknowns, improve the understanding of the root causes of your parking structure issues, and the exact magnitude of the problem.

Evaluation Services The components we can incorporate into the full investigation stage include: • Comprehensive Hands-on Services and Structure Access • Advanced Testing • Laboratory Testing • Service-Life Modeling

Comprehensive Investigation Services and Structure Access

Survey & Access Capabilities • Industrial Rope Access • Swing Stage Access • Lifts and Scaffolding For parking structures, a variety of proven safe access methods enables the team to develop accurate, thorough quantification, and analysis of problems found — including the extent of damage.

A full parking structure condition assessment reviews the concrete slab (top and underside), expansion joints, drainage areas, beams and girders, and walls. Our team will identify types of distress, including leaks and water damage, cracking, delamination, spalling, and scaling.

We have developed and defined an outline of critical checkpoints for a parking structures that guide our inspection process.

Specialized Testing for While investigating the parking structure, STRUCTURAL and our Service-Life Modeling Advanced Testing

engineering partners perform non-destructive tests (NDT) or semidestructive tests (SDT) to evaluate performance issues or for code compliance.

• Petrographic Analysis • Ionic Migration • Pore Solution Extraction

NDT testing includes:

SDT testing includes:

• Ground Penetrating Radar

• Load testing

• Moisture Transport

• Rebarscope

• Probes

• X-Ray Diffraction Analysis

• Corrosion potential mapping

• Core drilling and sampling

• X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis

• Infrared testing

• Borescope

• Pachometer

• Steel coupon extraction

• Acoustical hammer sounding

• Bond and adhesive testing

• Water spray bar testing

• Chemical Analysis • Half-cell Potentials of Uncoated Reinforcing Steel in Concrete • Effects of Chemical Admixtures on Corrosion of Embedded Steel

• Wall ties and rebar location • Cable video investigation

• Reinforcement in Concrete Exposed to Chloride Environment

Laboratory Testing Standard laboratory techniques can also be used to further determine the root cause of any defects that are found. Some of these include: • Corrosion damage surveys

• pH testing/carbonation depth

• Corrosion rate analysis

• Chloride ion content

• Concrete resistivity

• Compressive strength testing

• Chloride and carbonation analysis

• ASR testing

Service-Life Modeling Based on advanced testing, our team offers service-life modeling for parking structures using STADIUM® - the industry standard for service-life modeling and prediction. We can model the service-life of an existing parking structure and how that structure’s life can be extended through repair and/or protection solutions.

Services You Need for Repair & Maintenance PARKING STRUCTURE SERVICES - FULL INVESTIGATION The Final Report

Final Report Deliverables

Following the team’s extensive investigation, our team provides a detailed summary of the condition of your structure and findings as well as options for moving forward.

• Background and project understanding

With STRUCTURAL being a part of the investigation process, repair options can be developed along with value engineering and more accurate cost estimates.

MOVING FORWARD WITH DESIGN BUILD

• Objective and scope • Investigation summary – including photo/video documentation • Laboratory summary (as needed) • Data analysis and extent of deterioration • Repair solution options with constructability evaluation • Order of magnitude costs for repairs • Service-life expectancy (if requested)

Our final report in the Investigation stage includes an order of magnitude cost estimate that outlines the repair scope and cost analysis. Continuing on with our model and committing to a Design Build approach brings added value at each stage of the repair and maintenance process through single source responsibility.

Single source means owners are not in the middle of design and constructability issues and costly change orders. Faster schedules, lower cost, and less cost growth during construction are key advantages of the Design Build process.

Our team approach to design explores multiple solutions.

Before a design solution is selected, we compare options with you in terms of costs and life-cycle. A collaborative approach also provides greater creativity in potential options, enhanced understanding of constructability, and accuracy in the cost impact thanks to the combined expertise of a Design Build partnership.

STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES provides our engineering partners with knowledge of material types and applicability, service-life, and constructability analysis so owners get the best repair options.

Why a Design Build Approach?

Owners can be confident with our contracting experience and expertise. STRUCTURAL has a long track record of installing a wide range of protection systems from simple coatings and membranes to more comprehensive corrosion control systems. Our repair programs replace defective, damaged, or deteriorated concrete; restore function; protect the structure from aggressive environments; and restore structural capacity.
