Engineers Who Solve Problems
Listening. Responding. Solving. Saving Money.
Historical data shows that all parking decks require annual maintenance. We have found it is imperative that a proactive program of maintenance be established early in the life of a deck. Our professional maintenance program is a “prevention focused” solution that not only saves money, but also ensures the parking facility remains structurally safe over time. A professional maintenance program will significantly extend the life of a deck and maximize return on investment.
Consider attending our webinar, Signs of Deterioration - Parking Structures 101, an informational web cast where professional engineers describe with photos & sketches what signs to look for that may indicate a problem. The photo scroll above shows a variety of common deterioration examples. We have valuable, concise information to share from our years of experience with cast in place, steel and precast parking decks.
In cases where the owner realizes the need for protecting their investment, too often the symptom is treated rather than the root cause of the problem. Parking Deck Solutions is a division of Britt, Peters, & Associates consulting engineers and specializes in parking deck design, maintenance, and performance.
Condition Assessments (Cast in place, steel and precast parking decks)
- Creates a baseline documentation of deteriorated components of a parking garage
- Conditions such as concrete spall, trip hazards, concrete reinforcement corrosion, broken welds and deteriorated sealant joints are documented in detail in a PDS condition assessment.
Maintenance budget estimates
- A detailed condition assessment gives us our professional engineers data to create long term and short term repair and maintenance budgets.
- Our program provides a pathway for the owner to prolong the service life of their deck, which results in long term financial savings.
- We have the experience to develop a maintenance program to fit specific needs and work with your budget.
Education
- In cases where the owner prefers to self perform routine maintenance, a budget and schedule can be created to fit the needs of the deck. The owner’s operations crew will be trained by our highly credentialed staff in routine maintenance.
