Overview
This project involves the full concrete restoration of a multi-story building located on Washington Avenue, Miami Beach, FL.
The scope includes structural repairs across interior areas, exterior façade, and roof systems, with the objective of restoring the building’s integrity and protecting it from long-term environmental exposure.
The Challenge
The building presents multiple structural deficiencies, including deteriorated concrete, exposed reinforcement, and construction irregularities.
A key challenge is the restoration of a spiral (cyclone-style) staircase with significant construction defects, requiring precise structural correction.
Additionally, the project faces logistical constraints due to the complexity of scaffolding installation in a tight urban environment. Excessive surrounding vegetation, limited access between neighboring properties, and restricted working hours imposed by the City of Miami Beach significantly impact productivity and require detailed planning and coordination.
The Solution
SWC Builders is implementing a phased restoration strategy, including selective demolition of deteriorated concrete, treatment of exposed reinforcement, and reconstruction using high-performance repair materials.
The scope includes full roof concrete restoration, exterior façade rehabilitation, and application of waterproofing systems to prevent moisture intrusion. Specialized repair methods are being applied to the cyclone staircase to ensure structural alignment and long-term performance.
The Outcome
Upon completion, the project will restore the structural integrity of the building, enhance durability against coastal environmental conditions, and extend the lifespan of all major structural components.
The final result will provide a safer, more resilient structure with improved long-term performance and increased asset value.
