LL 37 Retaining Walls Compliance with SIP vs ROAR added
Considering there are typically two owners involved in every LL37 Retaining Wall project simplicity is key.
The philosophy of SIP vs ROAR starts with removing or repairing as little as possible, continues with all operations being performed from the “OWNER’S” side and involves turning an unreinforced masonry structure into a reinforced masonry structure with a series of socked anchors, including post-tensioned, and involving the backfill as necessary but all contained within the fabric of the structure itself. The detail above is but one solution provided in a complete manual designed by Cintec available from ConSpec by placing the words “Cintec Retaining Wall Manual” in the subject line of the contact sheet on this web site ( https://www.conspec-rep.com/contact-us/ ).
ConSpec works with both NYC Licensed Engineers and Specialty Contractors that provide both the designs and construction services necessary to keep your costs and time to an absolute minimum. Again please reach out to us for;

Can’t Do It
This is a follow-up to my last podcast. If you say it can’t be done, it is true you can’t do it. But it doesn’t mean I cannot do it. How does this affect you, your current or next restoration project, and your bottomline?
From a previous podcast on SIP vs ROAR, Stabilize In Place rather than Rip Out And Replace, and the fact that less than five in a hundred structural engineers are true restoration engineers that can work within the fabric of the structure.

When stucco was peeling of a Naples Florida High Rise Condominium the engineer Christopher Eseppi PE of CE Engineering & Consulting LLC searched the internet and found RureGold which he felt would be a potential solution to stabilize the underlying CMU substrate, and act as the base for the replacement stucco.
