ARMOUR SQUARE - ENVELOPE ASSESSMENT
In Partnership with Globetrotters Engineering Corp.
Chicago | 2024
Our Role: Facade Inspector
Project Owner: Chicago Housing Authority (CHA)
HUSARCH was contracted as critical facade examiners by Globetrotters Engineering Corporation (GEC) at the Armour Square Apartments, made up of two buildings with eight stories. For a period of one month, HUS visually inspected and sound tested both buildings through 18 swing stage drops, creating two openings per drop. Our team coordinated with GEC’s structural engineer to create openings based on previous reports and interior structural investigations happening at the same time.
The HUSARCH team utilized scaffold licenses to conduct an up close inspection for 100% of the facade and made repair recommendations for redevelopment of the exterior wall.
