Binghamton Governmental Center

The Binghamton Governmental Parking Garage is a two-level underground structure serving the three government buildings above. The 650-vehicle garage was built in the early 1970s. Multiple structural systems, including cast-in-place concrete waffle slabs and encapsulated steel framing, were used. Little maintenance was done over the years, resulting in significant distress to the garage. 

WGI was retained as the prime consultant to perform a comprehensive condition appraisal and repair options analysis of all functional, architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems serving the garage. Extensive testing was performed on all relevant systems to assess current performance levels. 

WGI was retained as the prime consultant and restoration specialist to perform a comprehensive condition appraisal and repair options analysis of all functional, architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems serving the garage. Extensive testing was performed on all relevant systems to assess current performance levels. In 2005, WGI provided an updated condition assessment and temporary shoring design for the greatest structural concern areas. In 2007, WGI completed the final design for the complete restoration of this facility. WGI is currently providing construction administration for the restoration.
