Copy of Case Study:Park Sierra Apartments Balcony Foundation Water Leak Engineering Solution

Project Overview: Our Foundation Engineering Solution

Our team successfully reinforced and repaired the structural integrity of a multi-family residence while ensuring minimal disruption to the tenants. By implementing a strategic shoring solution, we stabilized the second and third-floor balconies, allowing for the safe replacement of a deteriorating support beam.

Challenge

This project required:

• Stabilizing upper-floor balconies to prevent structural compromise

• Replacing a severely rotted support beam due to water leakage

• Maintaining a safe and livable environment for tenants during repairs

• Ensuring proper waterproofing to prevent future damage

• Focus on solving the issue without disrupting the foundation while engineering a process for the repair and replacement

Innovative Engineering Solutions

• Installed temporary supportive walls to brace the second and third-floor balconies, ensuring structural stability throughout the repair process.

• Safely removed and replaced the deteriorated 6"x12" 20ft support beams, restoring the structural integrity of the balconies.

• Implemented advanced waterproofing techniques, including a complete re-sealing process to prevent future water intrusion.

• Carefully removed and replaced stucco and cement to integrate the new waterproofing system seamlessly.
