Severe Winters - Heavy snowfall, freeze-thaw cycles, and ice damming are leading causes of damage to building facades as well as asphalt and concrete surfaces.
Soil and Drainage - Clay soil expands and contract with moisture and temperature changes. This can cause foundation movement and water infiltration.
Aging Infrastructure - Many neighborhoods have aging homes where old wiring, plumbing, and facade materials impact repair and replacement costs.
Local Codes and Conditions - Both Minnesota State Building Codes and Saint Paul-specific ordinances must be considered.
Environmental Guidelines - An emphasis on green infrastructure and energy efficiency is becoming more and more prevalent.
Stormwater - Effective stormwater management systems are critical to roadway safety and stability.
