Wall Street Tower Parking Garage
12-story parking garage, 765 spaces. Built in the early 1970s, this parking structure was showing significant signs of age and deterioration. Our team conducted an initial assessment to identify and prioritize necessary repairs. After securing HOA approval and funding, we conducted a detailed assessment, identifying specific areas requiring attention. We then developed comprehensive plans outlining repair locations, details, and specifications to address each deficiency effectively.

Oskaloosa High School Football Stadium Light Poles
Structural investigation of leaning stadium light poles. Apex worked with the Oskaloosa High School football program to investigate their leaning stadium light poles. By asking the school to observe wind speed restrictions on game days, we managed to ensure the players could safely finish out their season before the poles would eventually need to be re-set in the ground.
