Geotechnical Engineering

Settlement Investigations

Investigation into why a structure is experiencing excessive settlement and evaluation of remediation options.

Sinkhole Evaluation

Investigation of the presence of sinkhole activity or cause of an actual sinkhole and evaluation of remediation options.

Underpinning & Remediation Design

Designing underpinning and remediation programs for structures that have experienced settlement or sinkhole activity.

Reserves, Turnovers & Property Assessments

Reserve Studies

Reserve studies are an essential part of the association budget process. Velocity will identify components of the common elements to be included in the reserve study and estimate the replacement cost, useful life, and remaining useful life of each component. Reserve studies can be prepared using either straight line or pooled accounting methodologies.

Turnover Studies

Monitoring the installation of pile foundation systems and documenting installation parameters. Pile foundation types include driven piles, augered cast-in-place piles, micropiles, and helical piers.

Facility Evaluation & Maintenance

Project Plans & Specifications

Velocity will determine the appropriate scope of work and prepare plans and specifications for your Association’s repair and maintenance projects. Engineered plans and specifications allow apples-to-apples bids to be obtained from contractors.

Bid Solicitation & Evaluation

Velocity will identify interested contractors and solicit bids for your Association’s repair and maintenance projects. Velocity can also review bids to ensure they are complete and assist the Association with contractor selection.

Construction Observation

Velocity will observe the construction work as it is being performed to ensure the contractor is complying with the plans and specifications.

Concrete Restoration

Identifying and evaluationg areas of concrete deterioration and/or spalling in an existing building and determining the appropriate repair methodology.

Pavement & Roadway Consulting

Evaluating the condition of existing pavements, determining remaining useful life and maintenance options, preparing pavement maintenance plans, and assisting Associations with their repaving projects.

Roof Consulting

If a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) identifies the presence or likely presence of contaminants on a property, then a Phase II ESA is performed to further evaluate if contamination is present and to what extent. Phase II ESA’s can include soil, groundwater, and/or surface water collection and testing.

Forensics & Building Sciences

Construction Defect Investigations

Investigating and documenting known or suspected construction defects. Typically performed in support of pending litigation.

Forensic Investigations

Investigation of the cause or causes of damage to or failure of a building, property, or component.

Expert Witness Testimony

Velocity has provided expert witness testimony for litigation relating to a wide range of engineering and construction related disputes.

Water Intrusion Investigation

Investigation of the source of water intrusion into a building. These investigations typically include a combination of visual inspection and water spray testing but may also require destructive investigation.
