Existing Building Failure Analysis
Buildings,
both old and new, experience failure.
Wojcieszak & Associates, Inc. has helped many building owners
identify the reasons their buildings failed and recommend cost effective ways
to repair or retrofit the elements that failed.
With over 25 years of experience in construction, a wealth of knowledge
has been gained in the areas of air conditioning, electrical, plumbing,
building envelopes, indoor air quality, etc.
Understanding the relationship between the building construction and the
systems within the building is paramount.
Many buildings fail because this relationship was not considered
important. The best air conditioning
system design, operation and installation matters very little if the windows
leak.
Other
examples of failure analysis include corrosion of equipment and materials, pipe
breaks and leaks, lightning strikes, etc.
