Concrete Restoration for Reserve at Del Oro

Project Type: Concrete Restoration and 40/50-Year Recertification

Location: Plantation, Florida

Structural System: The complex is supported by stem wall foundations with a concrete framing system, reinforced concrete slabs, CMU walls, and a flat roof covered by an asphalt membrane. Our inspections confirmed that the overall system is now in good condition following the restoration work.

 

Project Overview

We completed a major concrete restoration project for Reserve at Del Oro, a residential complex in Plantation, Florida. The property includes three buildings—a pair of four-story structures and a single-story building—constructed in 1971, spanning over 190,000 square feet.

 

This restoration was an essential part of the 40/50-Year Recertification process. It was crucial to ensure the continued safety and structural integrity of the complex. Throughout the project, our team conducted  thorough inspections, followed by repair plans, and also supervised the restoration process to meet the latest Florida Building Code requirements.

 

Scope of Work

Restoration primarily focused on critical structural repairs. These included addressing slab edge damage at balconies and corridors, partial top and bottom slab repairs, and reinforcing steel issues. Additionally, the scope also covered the replacement of aluminum screen enclosures and balcony railings, as well as sill restoration on exterior windows and stucco repairs

 
Project Insights

Our office played a crucial role from the start, beginning with an in-depth inspection of the building’s structural elements, both inside and out. Based on these findings, we developed a comprehensive repair plan. This plan included recommendations for full-depth concrete repair, reinforcing steel repair, expansion joint repair, and railing post repair. Furthermore, we oversaw the implementation of these repairs, particularly ensuring that all work was completed to code and with a focus on long-term durability.

 
Outcome

Through our commitment to excellence, DOP Engineering successfully brought the Reserve at Del Oro buildings up to current safety standards.  To summarize, this project ensured long-term durability and structural integrity. It demonstrates our dedication to quality, precision, and equally important adherence to the latest building codes. We are proud to have played a key role in securing the future of this residential complex.
