The following are just a few recent projects
Prospective buyers had a typical pre-purchase home inspection that uncovered what appeared to be structural defects, wall and foundation cracks and possible signs of foundation settlement.
Torello Engineers was contracted to conduct a thorough examination of the structure and foundation and determine if these constituted serious structural issues and if ongoing settlement or other issues were probable.
Prior to investing millions in this structure Torello Engineers was hired by a real estate investor to examine the foundation due to concerns of damp conditions.
Our subsequent investigation revealed a recent modification to the foundation that posed a future threat to the building.
When our client was considering the purchase of two large existing marinas they needed to have both facilities studied in order to determine each structures' condition, suitability and cost of rehabilitation in order to transform the properties into a unified repair facility for Coast Guard vessels.
These condominiums are buiilt atop an underground parking garage. During Architectural upgrade studies a number of possible structural defects were noted. Torello Engineers conducted a condition study and evaluation and identified numerous structural deficiencies.
Design review of the proposed renovations and additions developed by the Architect. Torello Engineers directed changes to the structural framing design as required to in order meet the requirements of the CT Basic Building code. Field services included determination of existing framing and load paths. Final deliverables were in the form of our stamped title block and scope on the Architectural drawings which incorporated our framing design.
When the CT Convention Center monumental stair system required replacement due to deterioration and water infiltration Torello Engineers was called in to re-design the new stair system.
Services included field visits to observe removal of old stairs and review of the underlying structure, detection and mapping of structural slab delaminations, rehabilitative repair design for the structural slab and expansion joints and design of new reinforced concrete monumental stairs.
