Soodan’s scope of work included the following:

• Review available drawings, documents and reports related to the original construction and previous inspection and repair work.
• Prepare schematic diagrams and record drawings of the building walls to document observed conditions.
• Conduct close-up visual examinations of the exterior wall elements from swing stage or hoist.
• Examine eight inspection openings per building to investigate the substrate and condition of concealed anchors. The Owner’s swing stage contractor made the openings; and, after inspections by Soodan, the contractor closed the openings.
• Identify and notify the Owner of potentially unsafe and hazardous conditions, and develop recommendations for temporary stabilization.
• Work with the Owner to implement program to perform required temporary stabilization work.
• Prepare a report for the Owner describing the condition of the exterior walls including repair recommendations and an opinion of probable construction cost for long-term repairs.
