Lake Tabor is a reservoir located near Tabor City, in Columbus County, NC. Lake Tabor is retained primarily by an earth and concrete dam on the south end of the Lake. The dam includes steel sheet piles and a concrete dam and spillway structure. Portions of the steel sheet piles are exposed on the downstream […]
SKA performed an engineering assessment to determine the root cause(s) of cracking of the hardened concrete and to provide an opinion on the general condition and future anticipated service life of the dam. Our assessment found that the strength and integrity of the concrete buttresses, spillways, and wing walls of this dam were compromised by […]
Mitchell Water Treatment Plant has the ability to produce about 24 million gallons of water per day. The filter house, sedimentation basins and mixing chambers were mainly constructed in the 1950’s with additions in the early 1960’s. The primary structural system in the filter house is reinforced concrete columns, beams and slabs and concrete encased […]
SKA was contracted to assess the condition of the Nissan Stadium and develop repair documents for the waterproofing of the upper deck and upper concourse. Engineers identified water infiltration issues stemming from incorrect original installation of expansion joints (EJs), aged sealant, aged EJ’s and sub-roofs not being water tight, open drainage piping in mechanical chases, no […]
This project consisted of window and door, stucco facade and structural concrete renovations at two beach front condominiums in Pawleys Island, South Carolina. Over 588 windows and doors along the balconies and courtyards were replaced and over 40,000 sf of stucco were replaced with new weather protective wall coatings. Renovations also included the replacement of […]
Working with the City of Hamlet, SKA performed an engineering assessment of the hardened concrete of this 1920 vintage dam structure to visually identify distress conditions within the hardened concrete structure, provide an opinion on the general condition of the dam, and make recommendations for repairs. SKA determined the general condition of the dam’s exposed […]
