Parking Deck Construction

Whether designing new, standalone parking decks, decks attached to office or government buildings, or complex, below-grade decks, SKA engineers have the expertise and experience for a range of structured parking projects. Our portfolio includes over 1,000 parking deck projects, including cast-in-place and precast decks, ranging from 100 spaces to over 2,000 spaces.

At SKA, we also have extensive experience repairing parking decks and extending their useful service life. SKA  provides an array of testing services for facades and concrete / steel components to define material properties, leak conditions and corrosion characteristics in developing solutions. We have broad knowledge and demonstrated expertise in historical and contemporary codes and practices, deterioration mechanisms of structures, and state of the art repair and service-life extension approaches, including the use of cathodic protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a parking deck engineer do?

A parking deck engineer designs new structured parking facilities and evaluates, repairs, and extends the service life of existing parking structures. SKA Consulting Engineers provides structural design for cast-in-place and precast parking decks ranging from 100 to over 2,000 spaces, as well as condition assessments, corrosion testing, concrete repair design, and cathodic protection for aging structures.

How do you know when a parking deck needs structural repair?

Warning signs include concrete spalling, exposed or corroding reinforcing steel, water staining on ceilings, cracking along post-tensioned tendons, joint sealant failure, and drainage problems. SKA's engineers perform parking deck condition assessments that include visual surveys, corrosion testing, concrete sampling, and analysis to determine the extent of deterioration and prioritize repairs by urgency.

What is cathodic protection for parking structures?

Cathodic protection is an electrochemical system that slows or stops corrosion of reinforcing steel inside concrete by applying a low electrical current to the rebar. SKA designs cathodic protection systems as a service-life extension strategy for parking decks where corrosion is active but the
