Your parking lot or garage is often the first thing visitors see, and a poor first impression can leave a lasting impact. Without proper maintenance, these vital assets can become costly to manage, create safety hazards, and even diminish the value of your facility.
At Technical Assurance, we offer expert consulting for parking lot and parking garage restoration, focusing on what matters most to you—minimizing long-term costs, maximizing safety, and protecting the revenue your parking facilities generate. Whether it’s assessments, forensic investigations, designing repairs, or providing construction administration, we help you extend the life of these crucial assets while keeping ownership costs low and operations running smoothly.
Common Concerns We Address with Parking Facilities
Corrosion and Concrete Deterioration
Causes: Exposure to moisture and de-icing salts leads to corrosion of steel reinforcement and degradation of concrete over time.
Concerns: Structural integrity may be compromised, increasing the risk of costly repairs or safety issues. Regular cleaning and sealing can help prevent corrosion and prolong the structure’s lifespan.
Cracking and Settlement
Causes: Poor drainage, subgrade deficiencies, or natural aging contribute to surface cracking and uneven settlement.
Concerns: These issues can worsen if left untreated, creating tripping hazards and damaging vehicles. Early assessment and timely repairs help preserve surface safety and condition.
Water Drainage and Pooling
Causes: Inadequate drainage systems or blocked pathways result in water accumulation on the surface.
Concerns: Pooling water accelerates surface wear, corrosion, and creates hazardous driving conditions. Effective drainage design and regular maintenance prevent water-related damage.
Structural Overloading
Causes: Excessive weight loads or usage beyond design limits put stress on the structure.
Concerns: Prolonged overloading can lead to cracking or structural failure. Engineering evaluations ensure safe capacity limits are maintained and reinforcements are made when needed.
Aging Structures and Compliance with Local Ordinances
Causes: Time-related wear and evolving building codes can render older garages non-compliant with local ordinances.
Concerns: Non-compliance may result in legal liabilities or safety risks. Code-based inspections identify deficiencies, helping you maintain a safe, legally compliant facility.
