我们的建筑围护结构服务

The Rimkus Built Environment Solutions team can provide a complete assessment of a structure’s building envelope (façades, roofs, windows, balconies, walkways, parking areas, etc.) describing the condition of such and all items in need of repair. A recommended timeline and a projected construction cost will also be provided to assist the owner in projecting future budgets. For a full survey of all building components, Rimkus can increase the scope of the survey and provide a full Property Condition Assessment (PCA) including mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, elevators, and interiors. Building envelope assessments and PCAs are typically provided with 5- or 10-year projections; however, they may be customized to the client’s needs. These reports can be utilized as a tool to help create capital expenditure budgets and establish maintenance schedules.

When façade elements fail, components could fall, thereby putting people and property at risk. As a response to this, many cities have passed façade ordinances to identify unsafe conditions, such as loose façade components or materials that may fall and cause damage to property or injury to pedestrians. At Rimkus, we provide professional building inspections supported by recommendations and design for proactive maintenance and repair programs. Façade inspections typically fall into one of the following categories:

安全： 无需注意
通过维修和保养计划安全：需要在专业人员指定的时间内进行维修或保养，以防止恶化为不安全的状况
不安全： 没有可靠的结构支撑手段，对人员或财产构成危险。需要及时采取补救措施。

进行检查

Inspection requirements range from visual inspection of street-facing façades by architects, engineers, or contractors, to “hands-on inspections” that require licensed engineers or architects to physically touch façade components for each elevation of the building along the entire height of each elevation. Typically, inspections are required for buildings over five stories, with inspection frequencies ranging from two to five years.

我们的专家精通外墙状况评估，拥有识别维修细节以及代表业主监督维修完成所需的经验和知识。

The appurtenances of a façade (balconies, fire escapes, etc.) often deteriorate faster than the façade itself and therefore require particular attention and, often, increased maintenance. Repairs to these elements should be addressed in a manner that will prolong the useful life of the appurtenance as well as the repairs performed.

The Rimkus Building Envelope team can assist in all phases of façade restoration. We are well versed in façade restoration, with a long track record of success on projects varying from low-rise commercial and residential buildings to luxury high-rise towers.

The façade, while best known for its aesthetic, also provides structural support for a building and vertical weatherproofing for its interior spaces. All three of these components should be analyzed during façade restoration. Performing a thorough analysis of the building’s façade prior to design, Rimkus provides a detailed list of findings and recommendations for immediate repairs as well as preventative maintenance to completely address façade functions.

At Rimkus, we believe that the key to a successful façade restoration project often occurs before the contractor arrives on-site. A thorough and detailed pre-construction effort, including preliminary investigation, preparation of contract documents, bid process and review, pre-construction meeting(s), and review of all mock-ups and submittals, will often eliminate unnecessary costs and construction delays.

遗产修复是一个非常专业的领域，很少有公司有能力成功从事。在 Rimkus，我们擅长使用传统屋顶，同时保留您建筑的原始特征。

我们的专业工程师和设计师擅长将屋顶修复的现代方面与历史材料和技术相结合，让您的屋顶进入 21 世纪，而不会失去任何时代魅力。

历史屋顶修复

Rimkus has had the distinct pleasure of working on numerous historic and landmark structures, including both high-rise and low-rise office buildings as well as a number of ornate residential buildings. Exhaustive research, early coordination with all governing agencies, and involvement of qualified experienced professionals are all essential components in the preservation of these delicate historic structures.

When analyzing and repairing the building envelope of historic structures a conservationist perspective is preferable, full-scale repair or replacement is not always best. Thorough documentation of existing conditions including sketches, photographs, and cataloging of deteriorated elements is imperative to the restoration process.

The use of new technologies to eliminate unnecessary probes and demolition is advisable. By incorporating the use of laser scanning, Rimkus can achieve an unprecedented level of detail and accuracy during the design phase often without the need for hands-on visual inspections. In addition to providing thorough contract documents; these laser scans will allow for the creation of 3D models of decorative stone units for shop drawings and mold casting.

Rimkus offers a thorough approach to leak investigations, recognizing that a successful investigation requires pursuing all possible sources of water infiltration.

Along with other specialty roof structures, plaza decks and parkades require expertise in not only roofing but also structural engineering, building envelope engineering, and pavement engineering. The Rimkus Built Environment Solutions team has the necessary experience and talent in-house to complete these large and complicated projects that come in all shapes and sizes, at the top of the building or underground.

Whether it’s a new construction project or the rehabilitation of an existing system, Rimkus can help assess, design, and perform a construction review on work being completed. If it’s time to rehabilitate an aging building, Rimkus offers the following services:

地下防水
扩张节修复

Rimkus recommends a roof condition assessment to better understand the life expectancy of a roof and to address an immediate concern.

The result is a promptly delivered roof analysis outlining the strengths and weaknesses of the existing roof system. Our findings are put into a clear and legible report that includes photo evidence, illustrations, and a colored AutoCAD roof plan. We believe that a high level of clarity and transparency is crucial to help our clients make informed decisions. Many of our technicians are RCI Inc., RRC, and RRO certified. Our emergency leak responders can diagnose numerous problems on the spot and expedite the remediation strategy.

Capital planning is also an important component that we provide as part this process. We believe it is important to provide our clients with a strategy for future investments and expenditures to meet both the short and long-term budget plans.

As the owner’s representative, once remediation or a new construction project is underway, Rimkus steps in to monitor and observe work being performed by the contractors. We foster an open dialog with the contractors on the project and review the materials and construction practices used by the contractor, for general conformance to the drawings and specifications.

Our quality observers are RCI Inc. registered. We encourage and support training and certification standards for all of our staff so that our in-house experts are leaders in their respective fields.
