Ocean 88 Condominium, formerly known as Champlain Towers East, is a 12-story concrete framed building with stucco cladding and cantilevered concrete balconies on all four facades. Each floor of the building has 9 units, and there are 11 supported floors of units for a total of 99 balconies.
The Board retained O&S to perform a structural inspection of the building and develop a material testing program to determine if the building is structurally sound, and built per specifications. The concrete framing and other structural elements were found to be in sound condition, however O&S recommended a community plan which included plaza waterproofing, parking level perimeter wall stucco repair/replacement, and a building repair and maintenance program.
O&S is currently providing consulting engineering services for the community with minimum disruption to residents to address the following projects:
Parking garage plumbing and mechanical system engineering analysis and design
Plaza planter/paver waterproofing and structural repairs
Balcony concrete repairs, guardrail replacement, and waterproofing.
