Habitat’s “Problem Solved!” podcast recently interviewed SUPERSTRUCTURES’ principal, John Galetta, RA. John discussed our strategic approach to facade restoration at 160 West End Avenue which saved the building $3 million.

John explains how the firm conducted an independent study (not simply a second opinion) of the 30-story building’s cavity wall, used non-destructive testing techniques to map the location and condition of wall ties, and formulated a surgical approach to restoration that provided significant savings in money and time, compared with the approach recommended by the prior consultant.

Thanks to Habitat and Paula Chin for the opportunity to showcase our solution.
