Project Details:
3360 Condominium Association, Inc.
- Project Scope:
- Elimination of overburden, plantings, non-structural curbs and fixtures
- Removal of concrete topping slabs and cantilevered balcony slabs
- Structural repair of slabs, columns and beams
- Installation of “Hot Rubber” waterproofing membrane system and reconstruction of balconies and ramps
- Installation of landscaping, fixtures and new pool pavers
- Conducted inspection and contract administration services
The twin-tower high-rise buildings have unique architectural features; an underground parking garage with a finished “green roof” that serves as a combination recreation deck with pool
- Challenges:
- The 30-year-old exterior deck waterproofing had failed
- As a result, water penetrated the garage structure
- Water intrusion caused corrosion of the steel reinforcement, which resulted in structural damage to the building
- Cars parked in the garage were also severely damaged due to falling concrete
- Solutions:
- Expanded use of the common areas between the towers to add greater functionality
- Upgraded property with lights for paver pathways and increased green space: natural turf mounds, trees, plantings, picnic and recreation areas
- Improvements provided to the property should help increase overall property values and cost savings for the condominium owners in the future
