We specialize in restoring structural integrity to damaged concrete elements in parking garages, high-rises, and commercial buildings. Our team performs precision repairs to floors, ceilings, and beams using advanced techniques that meet modern safety standards. With decades of experience, we address both cosmetic and functional issues while maintaining structural soundness.
Post-Tensioning Repairs
Our post-tensioning expertise includes mono-strand slab repairs and external beam strengthening for commercial structures. We've completed complex projects since the 1980s, including Rush University Medical Center's garage reconstruction after fire damage. Our methods ensure long-term stability for critical infrastructure like stadiums and medical facilities.
Waterproofing Solutions
We provide comprehensive waterproofing for both traffic-bearing and buried membranes using hot and cold application methods. Our solutions protect structures from water intrusion in challenging environments like underground parking garages and rooftop decks. We also handle expansion joint repairs and planter waterproofing.
Demolition Services
Our team performs precise structural demolition while maintaining safety for adjacent components. We employ shoring techniques to stabilize structures during removal processes, as demonstrated in complex projects requiring beam uplift protection during slab replacement. All work follows strict safety protocols established through our award-winning safety program.
