Parking
Like bridges, multi-level parking structures are exposed to frequent vehicle traffic and harsh deterioration mechanisms, including de-icing chemicals and moisture.
These conditions can accelerate corrosion of embedded steel, which affects durability and long-term serviceability.
Understanding existing conditions within parking structures is an important step in managing corrosion-related deterioration and planning future maintenance or rehabilitation activities.
Our Experience
With the exception of parking management firms, most parking structures are owned or managed independently. Many owners do not have in-house expertise related to reinforced concrete durability, which can make it difficult to understand existing conditions and deterioration issues within parking structures. NDT Corporation has experience performing testing and evaluation of reinforced concrete parking structures, providing data that supports informed decision-making by owners and engineering teams.
Parking structures are constructed using a variety of systems, including cast-in-place concrete, precast concrete, structural steel framing, and post-tensioned concrete. Each construction method presents different components and deterioration mechanisms, which can be challenging to evaluate without detailed investigation. NDT Corporation performs material testing and non-destructive testing on parking structures to document structural conditions and identify unknown or undocumented as-built details.
The data collected through NDT testing supports owners and engineers as they evaluate durability concerns, investigate corrosion-related conditions, and plan maintenance or rehabilitation activities carried out by others.
