HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
STATUS REPORT CONCERNING CITY PARKING STRUCTURE
Members of staff and Gfeller ~evelopment meet on-site with a representative
from Booth Twining Laboratories to review cracks and determine which ones
will require x-ray photographs. Selected beams, columns and deck slab
areas were chosen, but it was decided that further confirmation of these
locations was needed by the Engineer in charge of the project, Newman
Engineering. After a period of time a representative from Newman
Engineering has reviewed the project and confirmed the areas to be
x-rayed. The x-ray photographs will be taken on December 11, and 12,
1984.
In addition, GeoSoils, Inc. will be drilling and sampling the ramp area to
the upper parking level. This will be accomplished on December 13, 1984.
The results of these two studies will hopefully confirm the placement of
reinforced steel and determine the characteristics of the backfill material
underlying the concrete ramp. The information will be used to help
determine the cause of the cracks and what, if any, steps need to be taken
to correct the condition.
