| Applications: |
Conditions Detected: |
Potential Problems: |
| Concrete Masonry Units(CMU) |
CMU core not properly or completely filled with insulating
foam. CMU cores do not meet required minimum ¡°R¡± values |
Building owner will not accept final construction until
cores are filled properly. Core will not have sufficient
¡°R¡± values and will need to be corrected before project
completion. Contractor assumes all extra charges to repair. |
| Building Envelope |
Heat loss, missing/deteriorated/ misapplied insulation,
air leakage, moisture problems in wall structure, local
framing members, window seal failure. |
Uncomfortable occupants, energy waste. Moisture build
up within wall structure can cause severe structural problems,
bricks spilling and falling off, precast anchor deterioration
and eventual failure. Repairs $5,000 to over $100,000. |
| Concrete |
Locate rebar and determine deterioration, locate and
determine problems in parking ramp heating system, locate
hot/cold water, steam lines, identify leaks and excessive
heat loss |
Rebar corrosion and concrete delamination left unchecked
carries severe structural problems that are very costly
to repair. Snow- melt cable in parking lot ramps not working
will cause accidents. Energy waste, uncomfortable occupants.
Leaks can create additional damage. |
| Underground or concrete, heating elements or pipes. |
Defective heat tape in wheelchair ramps, parking garage
ramps. Warm or hot piping underground (leakage) |
eat tape shorting on metal rails, causing shock. Major
energy loss/water due to pipe leakage. |
