Abstract:

Parking structures are deteriorating; no land is available for new facilities; and employees have no other options for parking. The situation is a serious one, verging on disaster for corporations throughout much of the U.S. Corrosion and extensive deterioration of Allen-Bradley Corporation's multi-purpose parking structure threatened the safety and security of the entire building. The level of corrosion accelerated rapidly, despite maintenance efforts. In 1987, the company retained Graef, Anhalt, Schloemer & Associates (GAS) to investigate the state of deterioration and suggest rehabilitation options. The GAS engineers recommended replacing all deteriorated concrete, injecting floor cracks, replacing the expansion joints and installing a cathodic protection system on all levels.
