Client: Holiday Inn Chicago
Consultant: Eskenazi, Farrell & Fodor
Assignment: Precast Concrete Repair & Sealant Restoration
Duration: 1 Year (2002)
Project Value: $330,000

Holiday Inn Hotel, located on of the upper floors of the well known Apparel Mart, required extensive repairs to the deteriorating precast concrete panel exterior. The misplaced reinforcing bars inherent during original fabrication of the panels lead to premature failure of the exposed aggregate concrete. The nature of the exposed aggregate finish and the varied weathering of the panels were especially challenging to provide a consistent match. Through perseverance and experience, the repair specialists were able to achieve excellent results.
