Structural Shoring, Concrete Repair & Mechanical Restoration in Bloomington, MN, within RSI’s Minneapolis service area. Over 16 months, RSI delivered immediate structural repairs to an occupied parking ramp, including concrete frame restoration, broken precast tee stem repairs, and a phased shoring plan that kept the structure operational throughout.
Request a Project Consultation →An occupied Bloomington parking ramp with a deteriorated concrete frame and broken precast tee stems required immediate structural repairs. RSI was contracted in late winter 2024 to begin work over the winter and keep the ramp operational throughout a 16-month restoration.
Restoration Systems was contracted in late winter of 2024 to perform immediate structural repairs to an occupied parking ramp in Bloomington, MN. The concrete repair scope focused on the structural concrete frame and broken precast tee stems, conditions that required engineered shoring and a carefully sequenced repair plan to address safely without closing the ramp.
RSI worked closely with the property manager, building staff, the engineer of record, and our subcontractors to start the project over the winter and keep the ramp operational. Repair areas were enclosed along column lines so the structure could be heated for concrete placement and curing, and supplemental shoring remained in place for the full duration of the concrete repair work. Semi-permanent shoring was relocated as repairs progressed, moving from completed zones to lower-priority areas staged for future repair.
Restoring an occupied parking ramp over a 16-month schedule takes more than technical know-how. It demands engineered shoring, careful sequencing with the property manager and engineer, and crews capable of self-performing structural concrete, mechanical, and shoring work in tight coordination.
Supplemental shoring was designed and installed throughout the concrete repair scope to safely carry loads while the concrete frame and precast tee stems were restored. Semi-permanent shoring was relocated as repair zones were completed, redeployed to lower-priority areas staged for future work. This phased approach is exactly what occupied structures require, and it’s a core piece of how RSI executes structural concrete restoration in active facilities.
RSI crews repaired the structural concrete frame and the broken precast tee stems that prompted the project. Each repair area was enclosed along column lines so the structure could be heated for proper concrete placement and curing through the Minnesota winter, protecting strength gain and long-term durability of every pour.
Where structural repairs intersected building systems, RSI repaired the affected electrical and sprinkler components in the concrete restoration areas, eliminating the back-and-forth of multiple trades. Combined with a safety program backed by an EMR consistently well below the national average, this single-source execution kept the ramp safe and operational for tenants throughout all 16 months of work.
Beginning in December 2024, RSI completed 16 months of structural repairs on an occupied Bloomington parking ramp: engineered shoring, concrete frame restoration, broken precast tee stem repairs, and coordinated electrical and sprinkler work, all sequenced to keep the ramp open for tenants. The project stands as a defining example of the structural shoring and concrete restoration RSI delivers for parking structures across the Midwest.
From engineered structural shoring and concrete frame repair to precast tee stem restoration and coordinated mechanical work, RSI has the crews, the experience, and the safety record to restore occupied parking structures without taking them offline. Let’s talk about what your structure needs.
