Strip Mall Structural Remediation Problem: Strip mall canopy originally built with insufficient load bearing capacity. Symptom: Canopy pulling away from building’s superstructure and tilting downward creating hazardous conditions from potential collapse of canopy.

Anchored columns to steel reinforced concrete footings. Replaced canopy framing with structurally sound framing secured to building’s superstructure. Replaced existing roof with modified bitumen roof. Wrapped columns in brick. Wrapped beams in stucco.
