Freyssinet was selected to perform post-tension repairs at the Cumberland Street Parking Deck, a 990-space garage located in the heart of downtown Charleston.

With parking in high demand, the project required careful planning and execution to avoid disrupting daily operations or inconveniencing the public.

Freyssinet worked closely with Charleston County Facility Department, and SK&A Consulting Engineers to successfully complete this project.

Freyssinet Conducts Post-Tension Repairs

Our Mission

Post-Tension Repairs at Garage in Charleston, South Carolina

Working alongside SK&A Consulting Engineers, Freyssinet conducted a detailed inspection of post-tensioned tendons using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to locate exact positions.

Observation pockets were created by removing damaged concrete or forming new openings, allowing engineers to assess tendon condition.

All tendons were found to be in good shape, and Freyssinet completed the repair process by preparing the concrete substrate and applying specified repair mortar, followed by a 72-hour curing process using wet burlap.

Key Success Factors

  • Minimal Disruption: Freyssinet worked safely around live traffic, avoiding any impact on public access or vehicle safety.
  • Efficient Execution: The entire inspection and repair process was completed in just seven workdays.
  • Safety First: Despite working in a high-traffic environment, the team maintained a zero-incident safety record.
  • Technical Precision: Advanced tools and close coordination with engineers ensured accurate assessments and high-quality repairs.
