Movement never stops. Your maintenance strategies shouldn't either.

Assessments at regular intervals can reveal small problems before they become big ones—and before they become significantly more costly to repair.

As a leader in the parking design industry, Walker is familiar with parking structures of all shapes, sizes, and structural systems. We’ve worked with virtually every type of client, from mega structures for airports to private residential parking facilities, and we understand the unique requirements of each market. Our nationwide presence also means we’re familiar with local codes, maintenance issues, and more.

Our strategies provide you with effective planning and budget management tools. An asset management plan includes a baseline evaluation of the existing condition, subsequent periodic repair and restoration recommendations, opinion of probable cost, and an update of maintenance components based on remaining service life.

Condition Assessment

Walker's professional staff will assess the current condition of the parking facility, conduct appropriate material and non-destructive testing, identify potentially hazardous conditions, determine not only the extent of the deterioration but more importantly its root cause.

Repair Design

Walker develops specialized, focused and practical repair designs that will increase the performance and extend the structural service life of the parking facility.

Maintenance Plans

Walker regularly prepares maintenance programs for new and rehabilitated parking facilities. Maintenance programs are developed to assure proper and timely actions to minimize premature failure of parking structure components and systems.

Walker's engineers and architects work closely with clients to arrive at an implementable course of action.
