SUPERSTRUCTURES’ principal, John Galetta, RA contributed a recent article to Habitat magazine offering a prime example of how an independent study on cavity wall conditions yielded major benefits for the client.

To clarify what might not have been evident in the article:

SUPERSTRUCTURES was not the original engineering firm that examined the wall and recommended complete wall tie replacement. The building’s board retained SUPERSTRUCTURES to provide an independent study. Ultimately, the experience, judgment, and technical expertise of the SUPERSTRUCTURES’ team, led by Mr. Galetta, saved the client millions of dollars in unnecessary restoration costs.
