From structural and durability evaluations to in-house testing capabilities, SKA’s evaluation and long-term repair of concrete structures is carried out by engineers who are actively involved in technical societies associated with concrete construction and repair. Experienced in implementing cathodic protection systems to control corrosion in reinforced concrete structures, SKA’s unique approach combines structural, waterproofing, and corrosion mitigation concepts to produce innovative repair solutions to reduce life-cycle costs. At SKA, we can help maintain the condition of concrete structures in your facility, and not only save money, but increase the service life of the facility.

FEATURED PROJECTS
Lake Tabor Dam
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...
Lake Townsend Dam
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...
Mitchell Water Treatment Plant
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...
Nissan Stadium
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...
Sandpiper Run Condominiums Buildings A and B
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...
Waterlake Dam
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...
