Underground Parking Inspection
Comprehensive Structural Oversight
Underground parking structures in Québec face extreme conditions: temperature fluctuations, corrosive de-icing salts, and heavy vehicle loads. RBQ Chapter VIII (Building) mandates rigorous inspections to ensure structural integrity and user safety.
Typical Deficiencies Evaluated
- Concrete carbonation & spalling
- Slab delamination
- Waterproofing membrane failure
- Joint sealant deterioration
- Rebar corrosion & oxidation
- Cracking (structural & shrinkage)
- Inadequate drainage & ponding
- Exposed electrical/mechanical components
