Client Overview

A mixed-use, luxury residential community in Atlanta required critical structural repairs to its parking deck. This was an essential asset supporting both resident access and commercial activity.

For properties of this caliber, even temporary disruptions can impact tenant experience and revenue, making a repair strategy with minimal impact essential.

The Challenge

The structure exhibited instability in its double tee system, caused by the deterioration of welded connections over time. As these connections weakened, the tees began to shift under load, creating noticeable movement and increasing the risk of broader
structural failure.

The project challenges included:

  • The parking deck needed to remain fully operational
  • Traffic flow could not be interrupted
  • Residents and businesses required uninterrupted access
  • Revenue loss from closures was not an option

This required not just a repair, but a highly strategic, minimally invasive solution.

The Solution:

Carbon Fiber Tee Biscuits

The engineer of record specified carbon fiber tee biscuits to stabilize the structure. This is an advanced solution designed to restore integrity without extensive demolition or shutdown.

SRS was selected to execute the work, leveraging the team’s expertise in complex structural restoration and the ability to implement innovative technologies in active environments.

By partnering with a leading manufacturer of the new technology, SRS deployed a refined installation approach that allowed for:

  • Installation of 500+ carbon fiber tee biscuits across the deck
  • Reinforcement of compromised structural connections
  • Work completed in active conditions without interrupting traffic

Execution Without Disruption

Unlike traditional repair methods that often require lane closures or full shutdowns, this approach enabled continuous use of the facility throughout construction.

SRS approached the project with a customer-first mindset, prioritizing the safety and daily experience of residents, tenants, and visitors.

Through careful phasing, coordination, and precision execution, the team:

  • Maintained safe, consistent traffic flow
  • Minimized noise, obstruction, and inconvenience
  • Allowed the client to continue generating parking revenue

Additional Structural Enhancements

To further restore and extend the life of the structure, SRS also completed:

  • Bearing pad replacements
  • Carbon fiber strengthening in targeted areas

These enhancements ensured a comprehensive, long-term solution for the project.

Why SRS

SRS has established its reputation as an industry leader throughout the southeastern United States by combining proven restoration techniques with modern advancements in restoration technology to deliver exceptional service, expert craftsmanship, and a steadfast commitment to jobsite safety.

The Results

  • Structural stability restored across the parking deck
  • 500+ carbon fiber tee biscuits successfully installed
  • Zero disruption to daily traffic flow
  • Continued revenue generation throughout the project for the tenant
  • Long-term performance and durability enhanced

Conclusion

By leveraging innovative carbon fiber technology and a highly strategic approach to execution, SRS delivered a solution that balanced engineering integrity with real-world usability.

The result is a safer, stronger parking structure, achieved without sacrificing the experience of the people who rely on it every day.
