The IRC team of Engineers are well versed in designing highly efficient Building Envelope systems that meet today’s building codes, standards and regulations. In addition, we provide Reserve Fund Studies/Depreciation Reports and Facility Audits for Condo Corporations, Multi-residential Buildings, Co-operatives and Strata Corporations.ĭesign & Specification The exterior facade encompasses the largest surface area around any building and therefore building performance is largely affected by the energy efficiency of the Building Envelope. Our experienced in-house staff include Building Science Engineers, Technologists and Technicians.Ĭapital Planning is a key component of any Building Condition Assessment and is designed to help owners of Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional properties budget for scheduled maintenance and renovations during the building’s life-cycle. Along with Building Condition Assessments, Design & Specification, and Heritage Rehabilitation, IRC also provides:īuilding Condition Assessment IRC performs Building Condition Assessments using industry leading technology which allow us to communicate our findings in a concise, detailed and informative report, complete with full colour photos for transparency and clarity. IRC can help extend life expectancy and optimize building performance on any size portfolio.

Gator fixed over 1000 linear feet of crack and active water leaking with Kryton crystalline grout. New stairs and handrails were installed including waterproofing for all the patios on ground level. Each planter was approximately 25 ft long X 5 ft Wide X 5 ft high and were rebuilt with proper drainage complete with all new electrical for lighting and a new irrigation system. Gator then prepared all new subgrade for the planters along with an engineered cantilever off of the main building.

Excavation was required to an 8 ft depth to allow access for the waterproofing membrane installation on the exterior wall. One of the unique challenges we faced was the temporary bridges to the front of the building and individual apartments so that tenants were able to have safe access throughout construction as every attempt was made to minimize disruptions for the tenants. After the demolition of existing planters and removal of substrate we also had to remove the stairs. Multiple contractors over the years had tried repairing the planters with little to no success so the decision was made to do a full removal and restoration of the entire front and west side of the Calla building. The planters were overhanging off the building with no structural support underneath and were constructed without proper waterproofing and drainage. When originally constructed, the large planters on the front of the building were improperly built. Our expertise in multiple areas of concrete played a significant role in Gator being awarded the repairs to this 18-storey residential tower.
