102 W. Pennsylvania Ave Garage | June 11, 2021
Morabito Consultants is proud to team with Concrete Protection & Restoration (CP&R) in the repair and reconstruction of this two-level and partial basement parking garage located adjacent to the Headquarters of Mid-Atlantic Properties in Towson, MD. The 55-year-old unique building and parking structure consists of a mixture of precast concrete, masonry “dox plank”, and conventional cast-in-place concrete. Based on the condition of the parking garage’s asphalt wearing surface over dox plank structure, it was determined that the appropriate and cost-effective repair would be to demolish the masonry plank deck and reconstruct with a post-tension one-way concrete slab. Advantages of the post-tensioned slab solution include superior resistance to water-intrusion as well as no need for a wearing surface, except a conventional urethane traffic coating. Construction is underway and expected to be completed in summer of 2021. Stay tuned for additional updates.
