Webinar Recording: Planning for Plaza Repairs and Renovations
Plazas come in all shapes and sizes: public squares, amenity decks, and building entrances; constructed at ground level or built over occupied spaces. Regardless of plaza type, both appearance and functionality are crucial, so careful planning is essential for design, maintenance, repair, and restoration.
In this one-hour webinar, Jason Aspin and Paul Gaudette provide an overview of practical approaches to various issues related to the design of new plazas and the repair and restoration of existing ones. Topics include plaza design, water management, temporary protection, surface preparation, expansion joint concepts, waterproofing testing, and finish options.
By the end of the webinar, you will be able to:
- Describe the various plaza types, components, and their functions
- Identify various types of plaza finishes, selection criteria, and laboratory tests that can be used to evaluate plaza finishes
- Explain how plazas manage water, including redirecting it, draining it, and preventing it from entering occupied spaces
- Plan for an existing plaza investigation, repair, or renovation
