For building owners and managers who need to obtain from an engineer or an architect (assisted by our engineer or architect and sub-contractors partners) a verification of facades and parking structures in order to comply with the RBQ’s bill Buildings chapter of the Safety Code (bill 122)

• Building façades (5 storey building and higher)
• Parking structures
• Intrusive exploratory cuts

FACADES – MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

‘’ Crumbling concrete cladding and collapsing or cracking façades represent risks for the safety of the public. These risks can be reduced—or even eliminated—with the thorough and consistent preventive maintenance by the owners. This is particularly true of façades of high buildings which are exposed to adverse weather.

This is why the façades of all buildings of 5 storeys and more coming under the Building Chapter of the Safety Code must be subject to verification and maintenance. It is mandatory that they be maintained so as to be free from any defect which could jeopardize safety or contribute to the development of dangerous conditions ‘’

PARKING GARAGES – MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

‘’ Multistorey parking garages must be inspected regularly to ensure they are free from any defect that could endanger safety or contribute to the development of dangerous conditions.

In Québec, more than anywhere else, multistorey parking garages are regularly subjected to the effects of the freeze-thaw cycle, de-icing salt and abrasives. That is why all regulated infrastructures with underground or aboveground parking where at least one driveable surface is not laid directly on the ground must be verified and maintained periodically.’’
