SUPERSTRUCTURES is pleased to be hosting and co-sponsoring a new, free, continuing education series in conjunction with the Brick Industry Association (BIA) and Steven Winter Associates (SWA). The theme of the series is energy efficiency. The second in our series, which qualifies for one AIA/CES/HSW credit, is:
Energy Loss: Techniques for Surveying the Building Envelope
By: Barry Drogin, Director, Non-Destructive Testing & Evaluation
Existing buildings present their own sustainability challenges. One such challenge is mitigating energy loss from the building's exterior envelope. In this program we will learn about the thermal properties of roof, wall, and window assemblies, common barriers to energy loss, and the various types of non-destructive tools and techniques available to locate barrier failure. Proper evaluation of test results will provide the design professional with the information required to specify effective solutions that restore the integrity of the building envelope and reduce heating and cooling costs.

ICRI AWARD
SUPERSTRUCTURES is pleased that our restoration work on the Park Hudson Parking Garage in North Bergen, New Jersey has been honored by the International Concrete Repair Institute with its 2011 Award for Excellence in the Repair of Parking Structures.
The rehabilitation of the four-story structure was recognized due to the logistical challenges of its cliffside location and the collaboration between SUPERSTRUCTURES’ engineers, the owner and the contractor. In its citation ICRI cited the project’s “focused preplanning and the implementation of unique means and methods to ensure safety, quality, production and, ultimately, a safe, sound revitalized structure for the benefit of residents.”
