Condition Assessment & Inspection

HomeCondition Assessment & Inspection

Condition assessment for Bank of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii 

Provided a partial visual and invasive condition assessment for a multi-story building with a precast façade. The focus of the project was the exterior facade that had deteriorated due to the corrosive marine environment. A random sampling of 15% connections of facade to the main structure were exposed for evaluation and deficiencies were noted. Location and size of cracks along with a repair procedure was part of the scope of the project. Final report documenting the findings was issued to the client. (June 1991-May 1992)

Pier 30 assessment for an overbuild of 17 story structure, Philadelphia, PA

Provided a partial visual and invasive structural assessment of an existing pier that was used as a work platform for an over build of 17 story concrete structure consists of 3 levels of parking with 14 levels of residential floors above. Bore holes were made through the concrete slab
and a petro-graphic analysis to calculate concrete strength was also carried out. The pier was a low deck structure with
a fendering system located on the Delaware River end of the structure. The pier structure was analyzed for superimposed construction loads and the wet weight of the foundation system that comprised of concrete pile caps supported on H piles.
(December 2000-July 2001)

Assessment of existing Sun ship building facility for reuse of structural frames for Harrah’s Casino, Chester, Delaware County, PA

The existing steel structural and the pile supported system was evaluated to be incorporated in the design of a new Casino facility. Destructive and non destructive testing was carried out to determine the in-situ capacity of the steel frame and the foundation system. A final report was compiled for the client that also provided the cost impact of total demolition versus reuse of structure. (June 2004- June 2005)

Evaluation of existing connecting link, incorporated in Terminal D and E Expansion, Philadelphia Airport Pennsylvania

Provided assessment of an existing pedestrian precast concrete link between terminals D, E to be incorporated into the design and construction of a new terminal expansion project. The existing structure was evaluated for the new superimposed loads that included the analysis of the existing column and beam elements. A random 10% invasive testing of link beams supporting the walkway link and the hanger connections supporting the plumbing lines was also included. (January 2005-December 2005)

Reading Medical Center Parking Garage, Reading Pennsylvania

Structural rehabilitation destructive and nondestructive survey that included crack repair and strengthening of existing concrete framing using CFRP and conventional and synthetic reinforcing rods. The parking slab was evaluated using chain drag and hammer percussion methods. The finding were documented in a report supplemented by a design drawing used to create shop drawing for final execution of work. (December 2000-May 2001)

10th and Ludlow Garage, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Structural rehabilitation of this existing over 30 year old ten story garage.  Provided partial visual and invasive building structural survey that included location of vertical, horizontal and overhead concrete cracks along with quantities for repair using different injection and patching techniques. Expansion joints were evaluated and refurbishment details were included as part of the scope. .Resurfacing of wearing surface using chain drag method and other sounding techniques for void detection was also part of the scope. Prepared construction documents for final execution of work. (January 2002- December 2003)

16th and Pine Parking Garage Philadelphia Pa 

Structural rehabilitation of this existing over 25 year old 7 story garage  structure that included crack vertical, horizontal and overhead concrete crack repair using different injection and patching techniques. Resurfacing of wearing surface using chain drag method and other sounding techniques for void detection was also part of the scope. (October 1996-January 1997)

1835 Walnut Street, Philadelphia PA

Condition assessment survey of an existing 18 story building subsequent to a deep excavation of an adjacent high rise structure. The scope included a random 10% testing of overall structural members surveyed this included coring of existing concrete members and a petro-graphic analysis.  The finding were documented and presented to the developer to address future construction techniques to minimize impact of the excavation. (July 2005-December 2005)

International House, Philadelphia, PA

Visual condition assessment of a 12 story concrete dormitory building. The focus was a deteriorating façade that had led to delamination of concrete causing life safety issues for the inhabitants. A hung platform was used to survey the façade. Invasive methods like sounding and percussion techniques were used to evaluate and check for voids. Final report was issued to the client for cost and budgeting. (June 1995-May 1996)

Building No. 72, Naval Ship Yard, Philadelphia, PA

Structural survey with documentation of all salient structural components for this 120 foot high shipyard building. Random locations comprising of 15 % of structural elements like braces and columns were coupon tested. The information was used for structural modeling of the building to evaluate the structure based on the current building codes. A new lean against structure was added subsequently to the site. (2002 December-May 2003)

CVS (Existing store conversion), New York, NY

Survey of existing structure for future conversion to a CVS pharmacy. The existing survey included documentation of all structural elements that were evaluated for new loading criteria. Final documentation included strengthening methods and addition of auxiliary framing for new loads. (February 2003- September 2003)

Allegheny commons Philadelphia, PA

Project management and design services for adaptive reuse of an existing industrial facility in North Philadelphia. The facility was to be to converted to a residential condominium. The conversion included a modification of the basement of one of the buildings to add on-site parking and several other structural modifications to various parts of the structure. An extensive visual site survey was carried out to document all deterioration impacting the planned modifications. The construction documents included special details for strengthening and modification to ensure structural integrity of the structure. Heavily deteriorated areas were evaluated using invasive techniques including Mag particle testing of welds and core sampling of concrete. (December 2008-May-2009)
