Over the course of the repairs, the SRS team removed and replaced thousands of square feet of concrete, formed and poured 36 double tee stem enlargements, and installed 40 new drop panels and 230 linear feet of vehicular guardrail. They also performed joint sealant work and installed new expansion joints and a traffic coating membrane.
This $1,000,000-plus project presented challenges due to the deck’s location in the heart of Atlanta’s Buckhead submarket. The most significant challenges were noise issues and logistical phasing, as extensive work had to be performed over the high traffic ticket booth at the main entrance of the deck. SRS overcame these challenges by building custom overhead protection on both sides of the ticket booth, ensuring no interruption to traffic flow and no lost revenue from the parking deck.
