This 105,000-square-foot building had cracked sloped brick panels as well as cracked vertical panels at its perimeter. A mortar additive had caused the embedded steel to corrode causing cracks in all the masonry.

We replaced the sloping panels with sandwich panels of galvanized steel sheets with insulated cores.  The vertical portion of walls was demolished and replaced with brick masonry facing with concrete block back-up.

 

 

SUMMARY:

q       Repair of cracked masonry

q       Mitigation of corrosive chlorides.
