Featured Job Friday: ABT Commercial Foundation Waterproofing Project

Waterproofing Condos along the Fox River in Green Bay, WI

ABT Foundation Solutions Neenah, Wisconsin

This week’s Featured Job Friday comes to us from Wisconsin and our friends at ABT. Dave Brehmer shared a recent commercial foundation waterproofing job that was a massive undertaking. The Riverside Place Condos in Green Bay, Wisconsin, had a basement and underground parking; both were taking on water. The problem began in 2015 and got progressively worse each year. In 2017, they contacted ABT Foundation Solutions in Neenah, WI, to take a look.

The Condos are located on the Fox River in Green Bay. Depending on the river’s elevation, structures along its banks can be in for water problems. By the time ABT did the inspection, depending on the elevation, the condos could take on anywhere from 1-6 inches of water. As the water rises, it seeps in through seams in the concrete and around the structural columns. The water had nowhere to go.

The Commercial Foundation Waterproofing Solution

The team about ABT removed 814 square feet of concrete at the lowest portion of the building where the water always came in. They removed dirt and gravel under the slabs to create a trench for the next part of the project. A drain tile was placed at the bottom to collect water and redirect it to fiberglass sump basins. ABT installed several inspection and flush points to make future monitoring and maintenance easier. Gravel backfill was placed around the drain tile and was tamped down before putting in new concrete.

Riverside Place Condos were so pleased they wrote a letter of recommendation to ABT Foundation Solutions. They stated, “Throughout the project, we were impressed by the level of commitment by you and your team to successfully implement a solution to our problem.” Commitment is a word that means a lot to the team at ECP, and we are proud to work with ABT Foundation Solution as a partner. Congratulations, ABT Foundation Solutions, on a waterproofing job well done.
