Precis is part of the project team working to resolve a water damage issue, as a result of recent storms, at the Ursinus College Performing Arts Center in Collegeville, PA. An initial assessment of the project site indicated that a sanitary piping connection burst under the slab on grade floor, which caused erosion and lead to the slab settling. The project will require demolishing the floor slab and walls in the Costume Shop and Dance Studio to repair the damage and replace sanitary piping. Precis role on the project includes:

  • Performing code review of the project area against current/applicable codes.
  • Preparation of construction documentation showing all required demolition and new work are suitable for bid and installation by the contractor.
  • Surveying existing electrical systems and confirming against existing documentation.
  • Surveying existing sanitary piping systems for the spaces in scope and confirming against existing documentation.
  • Re-routing sanitary piping and specifying new material to avoid leaks in the future.
  • Providing demo and new work plans for power distribution and sanitary piping distribution.

This project at Ursinus College is currently underway and is expected to be complete by mid-2022.
