[OnDemand Webinar] Navigating Environmental Challenges Related to Affordable Housing Rehabilitation Projects - Braun Intertec

Planning for and understanding the environmental challenges related to affordable housing rehabilitation projects can help mitigate risks and increase the success of your projects. Join us for a free webinar on the environmental challenges and risk management considerations for affordable housing rehabilitation projects. We will discuss the different types of rehabilitation projects, the common environmental issues and challenges for each type of project, and the processes to evaluate and quantify the risks.

Case studies of recent affordable housing rehabilitation projects will be presented providing examples of the environmental challenges and risk management processes implemented. Appropriate assessment and planning for your next rehabilitation project can help mitigate risks and add to the long-term value of your asset.

Advancements in Deep Foundations: Augered Cast-In-Place Piles

Located in downtown Fargo, North Dakota, the Block 9 Redevelopment project site contains highly-compressible soils in the upper 100 feet with groundwater about 10 to 15 feet below the existing ground surface. The owner prohibited using driven piles to avoid disturbing neighbors of the project and historically, drilled shafts are used in Fargo as a reduced noise and vibration alternative to driven piles. However, developments over the last 20 to 30 years in drilling equipment, load testing and integrity testing resulted in the project team identifying augered cast-in-place piles as a suitable alternative for this project. To reduce the risks...

[OnDemand Webinar] Rotting Roofs: Causes, Mitigation and Code Requirements

Did you know in our climate, roof structures of some buildings that are about 10 years old, are failing years ahead of when they could be expected to have problems? Due to a change in the 2000 building code, some buildings were constructed without sprinklers in concealed spaces since the space was filled with fiberglass insulation. This change had the unintended consequence of creating condensation between the ceiling vapor retarder and roof deck, damaging the roof structure. Learn about the type of building having this problem; potential sources of moisture damage; tools to measure moisture accumulation; and how to create...

Is Your Building’s Insulation all it’s Cracked up to be?

If a building lacks appropriate insulation, simply adding more can create problems for material durability as it causes exterior walls to go through more freeze-thaw cycles. To further complicate matters, if humidity levels are elevated on the interior of a building due to the activities going on inside, the walls and roof will soon exhibit staining, damage, and deterioration. It’s important to understand the dynamics between walls, existing insulation, and new insulation, as these can all cause a dew point to occur. In order to appropriately prevent condensation, mold and deterioration of wood and steel, insulation and a strategically placed...
