Project Overview:
Shoring and repair design for existing roof beams on a Brooklyn building, where the brick supporting an S-section at the rear wall and a C-channel at the corner had to be removed and rebuilt.
Project Highlights:
- Temporary W8x58 beams welded to the existing members so they hang from the shoring
- Brick removal limited to widths within a 10-foot maximum unsupported span
- Minimum bearing lengths specified for the temporary beams
- New baseplates and rebuilt supports before shoring removal
Project Experience:
The repair was laid out as a seven-step sequence: reinforce, place and weld the shoring, remove brick, install baseplates, rebuild, and only then remove the shoring. Limiting how much brick could come out at once kept the roof beams supported throughout.
Project Outcome:
Shoring and repair details were issued and revised through construction in 2026.
