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.
