Structural engineering firm Morabito Consultants completed a field survey report three years ago of the now collapsed Champlain Towers South condominium complex in Surfside, Florida, and found structural damage.
The report provides ample evidence of structural damage to concrete slabs under the pool deck and cracking and crumbling in the parking garage.
The condition of the Parking Garage levels was reviewed specifically noting any cracked or spalled concrete members, condition of the concrete slabs and joint sealant conditions.
Though some of this damage is minor, most of the concrete deterioration needs to be repaired in a timely fashion.
MC is convinced that the previously installed epoxy injection repairs were ineffective in properly repairing the existing cracked and spalled concrete slabs.
All repaired concrete slabs located in the parking garage are to be repaired in accordance with the recommendations of ICRI. MC concludes by insisting "Required maintenance is needed to properly maintain this existing residential property."
Kenneth S. Direktor, a lawyer representing the resident-led association that manages the condo building, said days ago, that repairs on the building were beginning.
