Keystone Engineering recently completed a comprehensive structural inspection at Sea Turtle Condominium, located in beautiful Cape Canaveral, Florida. This inspection plays a critical role in preserving the safety, structural integrity, and long-term value of the property – especially in Florida’s coastal environment, where exposure to salt air and humidity can accelerate wear and damage.
A Closer Look at the Scope
Our team performed both visual and acoustic inspections throughout the property, ensuring no detail was overlooked. The inspection covered:
- All balconies
- Exterior walkways
- Stairs and walls
- Slab floor finishes
- Safety railings
- Screen enclosures
- Sliding glass doors and windows
Each element was evaluated for signs of deterioration, safety concerns, and structural wear. Acoustic testing helped us detect sub-surface concerns not visible to the eye – such as delamination and concrete spalling, often caused by corrosion of embedded reinforcing steel.
What Happens Next?
A detailed inspection report will be submitted to the condo association and will include:
- An executive summary of findings and recommendations
- Identification of areas with visible or detectable concrete spalling
- Insights on vulnerable areas contributing to accelerated wear across the three buildings
- A budget estimate for repairs
- An itemized list of recommended repairs by location
- Scaled field maps and photographs illustrating each area in need of attention
This comprehensive report is designed to empower the Board with the knowledge they need to make informed, cost-effective decisions on necessary improvements.
Why It Matters
Structural inspections like this are essential for protecting resident safety and planning future investments wisely. By partnering with Keystone Engineering, Sea Turtle Condominium is taking a proactive approach – prioritizing building health today to avoid larger issues tomorrow.
