The Blount Memorial Hospital parking structure experienced excessive horizontal movement between precast double-tees and the cast-in-place retaining wall and spandrels. WGI was contracted to conduct an onsite review to determine if additional displacement occurred and identify items of deterioration in the structure. Immediate repairs were recommended to provide additional double-tee stem supports at locations where horizontal movement had occurred but hadn’t been previously addressed. Additional immediate and phased repairs included:
- Topside slab repairs
- Flange-to-flange connector repairs
- Joint sealant replacement
- New expansion joint system
- Miscellaneous concrete repairs
Project Highlights
- Structural condition appraisal
- Phased project to limit impact and maintain pedestrian access to and from the hospital
- Completed on time and on budget
