Based on our review of the Structural Assessment dated 4/21/23, we do not believe any reinforcing work will be required on the interior.
Once the exterior arches are reinforced with FRP the interior of the building shall be deemed safe to occupy, inspect and repair if needed without the need for any shoring.
Stamped engineering approval letter can be provided upon completion of the FRP reinforcement of the exterior arches. – FRP Construction
The reinforcement includes
• Removal of existing paint on areas of Arches to be reinforced with FRP and epoxy injection.
• Patching of any large cavities with high-strength mortar.
• Notching of arches and placement of epoxy injection tubes.
• Installation of QuakeWrap 2408G FRP around all exposed exterior portions of arches.
• Injection of QuakeBond 320LV into all arches where FRP has been installed to fill all cavities and cracks.
• Coating of installed FRP with UV protective paint to match existing.
The quote includes a $75,000 allowance if any interior reinforcement of the arches is required.
