Marsden Park Development - Structural Wall Works
Development-wide structural wall works across multiple residential lots
The Challenge
Systematic structural wall defects across three lots from inadequate expansion joint detailing and temperature fluctuations. The developer faced mounting pressure from three homeowners threatening legal action as the defects period approached expiration. Each lot exhibited unique crack patterns requiring customized approaches. Traditional wall reconstruction would cost $60,000+ per property totaling $180,000+ over 12-18 weeks with required evacuations. The developer's $120,000 maximum budget created financial constraints while maintaining structural certification requirements.
Our Solution
We treated all three lots as an integrated project while customizing repair methodologies to each property's conditions. Comprehensive crack assessment led to engineered epoxy injection combined with helical stainless steel bar stitching where appropriate. Room-by-room sequencing allowed homeowners to remain in residence with maintained access to essential areas. Coordinated 3-4 day property-specific windows optimized equipment mobilization. Flexible epoxy addressed dynamic cracks while structural stitching handled larger stress cracks. Modern flexible sealant systems engineered for 5-45°C temperature range prevented recurrence.
Results
The development-wide remediation addressed all defects within the $120,000 budget and completed in 12 weeks versus 18-week sequential timelines. All homeowners remained in residence, avoiding $15,000+ per family in temporary accommodation. Structural testing confirmed 100% wall integrity restoration with zero reactivation over six months. Upgraded expansion joints eliminated the original construction deficiency. All three homeowners withdrew legal action following successful remediation. Property values stabilized, protecting remaining inventory. Comprehensive documentation enabled preventive maintenance programs across 20+ additional development lots.
