Repairing Structural Concrete Foundations

Structural repairs to a foundation wall of a multifamily building in Vancouver have begun the test phase. In conjunction with our structural engineers, we developed a unique low cost solution to repair deficiencies in this building using galvanized steel plates anchored to the interior foundation wall. The custom plates run from on top of footing up to concrete slab ceiling, spaced every three feet. Today we completed a test slab cut to confirm depth of footings and the length of custom galvanized plates required. I will blog about this job again in a couple weeks as we install the custom lateral load reinforcing plates.
