The shocking collapse of the Champlain Towers South in Surfside, FL has brought up the conversation of concrete, safety issues and how important it is to stay up to date with building codes. Check out what our CEO David Karins had to say.
In the aftermath of the Miami building collapse, condo boards and property managers everywhere are getting a wake-up call. The Downtown Sarasota Condominium Association (DSCA) is planning a discussion of what requirements for inspections currently exist or should be considered.
The Story Behind Dolphin Tower’s Near-Collapse.
In 2010, Sarasota’s Dolphin Tower Condominium showed its first signs of falling down as the floors on the fourth floor began to crack. That’s when a retired resident of the condominium Charlotte Ryan took on the job of Board President and she was given the duty of dealing with the building's needs.
Our Branch Manager for Existing Building Consulting Nick Dunning from the Sarasota office took the restoration team to Livingston Amusements in Sarasota for some fun. Playing together as a team, they won a unicorn head for a prize!
Here at Karins we like to keep track of the latest innovations in structural maintenance and repair technology. Looking to the future, structures may be able to monitor and power themselves and react to stimuli thanks to research outlining a new metamaterial system.
