This
timeshare resort began life as a motel, and was converted to a very
well-kept family structure. R&J's involvement began when it
was evident that the pre-stressed planks which formed the balcony and
floor structure began to fail. The initial probes revealed
corrosion on the cables through water and chloride-ion
intrusion.
After carefully removing the 1st deck, it was evident that mass
replacement was the most economic, long term answer. We therefore
removed the complete slabs and replaced them with a special 5500 PSI
ready mix of extraordinary design.
The storm season of 2004 caused major seawall damage, allowing the
high ocean tides to create openings between the panels, allowing the
sandy soil supporting the pooldeck to be washed out. A pooldeck
collapse was inevitable. The rebuild process involved concrete
repair and soil stabilization techniques.
R&J also recently assisted Perennial's management with a complete
exterior facelift, where waterproofing was a major focus. The
building now has great "curb appeal".
