The first hi-rise on Daytona's beachside, the Towers was
constructed in 1962-1963. R&J has been contracted to restore the
concrete in the parking garage and on the parking deck. 40+ years of
salt air and a badly ventilated garage took its toll on the concrete. The
east wall of the garage is the seawall, which had been battered by the '04
storm season, producing severe cracking of the corroding structure.
It was necessary to completely remove the seawall and provide a more
robust structure to withstand future storms.
The Towers garage has now been restored to its former grandeur, benefiting
from the latest concrete, corrosion resistant steel and deck coating
technology. (Concrete seawall
