Post-tensioned slab cracking, chloride-induced corrosion, and spalling from road salt are endemic to South Florida parking garages. Our drone reaches every level — including the underside of elevated decks — without shutting down a single lane.
Parking Garage Collapses Are Preventable
Every major parking garage collapse in the US in the last decade showed visible early warning signs — cap beam cracking, rust staining, and surface spalling — that were either missed or deferred. Post-tensioned concrete is particularly unforgiving: failure is sudden and catastrophic when a tendon snaps.
Salt air at South Florida garages drives chloride penetration into concrete far faster than inland structures — triggering rebar corrosion decades early.
Most Florida garages built after 1975 use PT slabs. Corrosion of tendons is invisible until surface rust staining appears — by then repairs are expensive.
Clogged drains cause ponding that accelerates slab chloride uptake. Drone rooftop-deck survey identifies all ponding zones in a single pass.
Traditional rope-access and lift inspections require lane closures, scaffolding permits, and multi-day access. Our drone completes a full exterior survey in a single morning — garage stays open the entire time.
