Andersal engaged in the design and rectification of structural repairs to the 2-storey car park at Harbourviews, Neutral Bay. The project involved major concrete cancer and spalling repairs and carbon fibre used for strengthening.
Harbourviews car park, Neutral Bay
Harbourviews is a residential building consisting of 90 units, 9 levels of residency and 2 car park floors. The car park slab was showing signs of fatigue and test samples confirmed.
- Location: Wyagdon Street, Neutral Bay
- Sector: Residential
- Client: Diagnostech Remedial Building Consultants; Strata Partners
- Type of Work: Carbon Fibre, Concrete Repair, Structural Repair
Special Challenge
The structural engineers and civil engineers came up with a time and cost-effective solution to use carbon fibre strips. The design would be adequate to rectify and increase the capacity of the slab to preserve and prevent further fatigue.
Solution
- The design consisted of approximately 3.3 kilometres of carbon fibre strips all applied overhead.
- Approximately 1800 litres of repairs were carried out to both the underside and topside of the slap.
- Once completed the carbon fibre was installed on an un-Leiden slab and a protective coating was applied in a 5-coat system covering area of 800 m2.
- All materials were supplied by Sika Australia and provided with a 10-year application warranty.
- The entire scope of works was completed in approximately 20 weeks.
