Parking Garages
Our company has decades of experience in post-tensioning used in commerical parking garages.
NAVY PIER – GARAGE
Location: Chicago, IL
Contractor: McHugh Construction
PT Quantity: 450,000 feet
Facts: The stressing operations for this garage proved to be a challenge. The garage was sandwiched between two existing structures. Furthermore, no stressing was allowed on the third side based on an agreement with nearby condominium owners and the City. After being awarded the project, AMSYSCO developed means and methods to solve the lack of stressing access as well as other complex constructability issues.
PARKVIEW WEST – UNDERGROUND GARAGE
Location: Chicago, IL
Contractor: Goebel Forming
PT Quantity: 400,000 feet in Garage/Lid (600,000 feet in Tower)
Facts: The underground garage was built using a “top-down” construction. Due to limitations in stressing, the beam tendons were stressed through the top of the beam instead of at the face of the beam.
