Building Envelope Repair
Beach Club – Gulf Shores, AL
J. Martin Pitts PE LLC provided structural engineering services for building envelope repairs at the Beach Club condominium in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Coastal high-rise structures face constant exposure to salt air, wind-driven rain, and hurricane-force loads, all of which accelerate deterioration of exterior walls, balconies, and waterproofing systems. Our team assessed the existing envelope conditions, identified areas of moisture intrusion and structural distress, and developed repair documents designed to restore the building’s integrity and extend its service life.
Structural Repair Design
Wind Drift Condominium – Orange Beach, AL
J. Martin Pitts PE LLC prepared structural repair designs for Wind Drift Condominium in Orange Beach, Alabama. Years of exposure to the Gulf environment can cause reinforcing steel to corrode, concrete to crack and spall, and load-bearing elements to lose capacity over time. Our engineers evaluated the affected structural components, determined the extent and cause of the damage, and produced detailed repair drawings and specifications tailored to the building’s coastal conditions. The result is a clear, constructible repair plan that addresses current deficiencies, protects residents, and helps the association (COA) plan responsibly for long-term maintenance.
