Since its inception, Orange Coast Building Services has performed Destructive Testing for hundreds of clients throughout California and Oregon. Continuing this tradition Orange Coast Building Services is pleased to announce two Destructive Testing projects in the Los Angeles area. Orange Coast Building Services, Inc. will be performing these tests as an unbiased participant.
Destructive Testing on a 128 unit condominium complex in Playa Vista, California is currently underway. The scope of work has come from various parties such as structural, civil, architectural, mechanical, geotechnical engineers as well as roofing and waterproofing experts.
The other DT in Bel Air, California is scheduled to begin in the next couple of weeks. This will be the largest single family custom home (16,000 sf.) that OCBS has performed invasive tests on.
This DT consists of water testing windows, decks, trellises, and columns. Sections of the roof membrane will be removed, inspected, and patched back. Core samples will be taken at the pool and at a retaining wall to verify the composition of construction.
Orange Coast has dedicated vehicles specifically designed and fully stocked with a wide variety of equipment and supplies for Destructive Testing. These trucks contain everything needed for efficient testing and patch back such as:
- Spray racks for water testing,
- visqueen, tarps, and surgical booties to protect interiors of homes
- stucco, drywall and insulation for same-day patch back
See pictures below of our "Ice Cream Truck" one of our mobile supply vehicles dedicated to this type of testing.
