When conducting a reserve study in Miami's highly dense coastal core (South Beach, Brickell, Downtown), the primary focus is on the structural longevity of high-rise concrete. High-traffic parking structures and facades suffer from constant exposure to saltwater and vibration, accelerating spalling. Structures must budget for the Milestone Inspection requirements and the expensive, mandatory funding for Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) components, which cannot be waived. The complex logistics and high cost of Miami-Dade contracting for structural repairs necessitate expert planning.
Concrete Restoration (Rebar Corrosion) – The primary structural challenge. Reserve funds must allocate heavily for the monitoring and repair of concrete spalling, where saltwater causes rebar to rust, expand, and crack the surrounding concrete.
Seawall & Dock Maintenance – Coastal properties require massive, dedicated budgets for the repair, restoration, and replacement of seawalls, bulkheads, and marinas that are constantly subjected to tidal and storm surge forces.
High-Rise Vertical Systems – Dedicated funds must cover the accelerated replacement and maintenance cycles for high-speed elevators, centralized chiller plants, and complex fire suppression systems common in Miami's large condo towers.
Urban Pollution & Parking Decks – High density, vehicle emissions, and traffic vibration accelerate the breakdown of protective coatings and sealants on large, multi-level parking garages, requiring frequent, costly restoration projects.
SIRS Compliance & Structural Funding – We ensure full legal compliance with the mandatory, non-waivable funding requirements of the SIRS mandate, specifically tailored to the timeline and components of your Miami-Dade structure.
Our engineers are experts in the unique challenges of Miami-Dade County, specializing in SIRS compliance for high-rise assets, concrete and rebar restoration, seawall elevation planning, and budgeting for the high costs of complex vertical and central mechanical systems.
