Strengthening for the Future: Soft-Story Retrofit Balcony Work

Striving for Seamless Construction - Every Time

Pouring Concrete

Soft-story retrofit projects are all about improving structural stability while protecting what already exists. As we prepared to pour concrete for the new balcony columns, our team focused carefully on reinforcing the balconies while safeguarding the remaining structure.

Before any concrete was placed, protective measures were put in place to ensure the integrity of the existing framing, surrounding finishes, and occupied areas. This step is critical during a soft-story retrofit—especially when working on elevated elements like balconies—because it allows us to strengthen the building without causing unnecessary disruption or damage.

Strengthening Balcony Work

Our current phase centers on reinforcing the balcony columns, which play a key role in supporting vertical loads and improving overall seismic performance. By stabilizing these components, we help ensure the building is better prepared for future stresses while maintaining safety throughout construction.

Every detail matters in retrofit work. From protection and preparation to precise concrete placement, our team is committed to building strength that lasts and creating a safer, more resilient structure for years to come.
