THE CHALLENGE
Provide engineering support for the general contractor in order to remove and replace the existing elevated slab and slab on grade at the Monmouth Street Garage. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the impact of the removal on the existing lower level exterior concrete walls and interior columns.
CBI’S SOLUTION
CBI utilized the information available on existing drawings and field observations, relative to site grades. Based on engineering calculations, CBI developed a demolition phasing plan and temporary bracing arrangement.
CBI provided an ongoing support during construction to design and monitor temporary lateral bracing and shoring designs to stabilize the structure prior to demolition of the Supported Level as well as the East Wall and other structural elements of the Garage.
