Special Inspections involve the evaluation of materials, workmanship, and the interpretation of contract documents. Chapter 17 of the Ohio Building Code details the required Special Inspections for 20 categories of construction work.
GCI's structural steel testing and non-destructive examination (NDE) testing staff are trained and certified to provide a broad range of observation and testing services to keep clients' construction projects on track and compliant with applicable codes.
BEC services during design and construction provide independent review, testing, and observation to confirm that building envelope elements are installed according to specifications, the building performs as designed, and costs are minimized.
Post-tensioned (PT) concrete construction is a method of strengthening concrete or other materials with high-strength steel cables or strands, commonly referred to as tendons.
Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) is a type of pavement used for heavy-use or industrial pavement when strength and durability are especially important.
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) or “cable radar” was adapted by GCI's Kevin O'Connor to monitor movement of foundations, roadways and slopes as well as changes in groundwater conditions and soil moisture.
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic induction profiling (EM) are complementary technologies that can detect and map underground objects and conditions without excavation. Here’s a quick review of these non-invasive tools that GCI uses to conduct geophysical surveys for environmental and construction materials assessments.
GCI created the GCI/Anne Longo Memorial Fund at the Columbus Foundation in memory of co-founder Anne Longo. Since its inception in June 2014, GCI has given $325,900 to the fund and distributed 291 grants totaling $243,607. “We’re passionate about supporting the charities our clients and employees are passionate about,” says Cindy Brass, GCI’s COO, manager of charitable giving, and daughter of GCI co-founders Anne and Dan Longo. “Charitable giving has been part of GCI from the beginning.”
Fire- and smoke-rated assemblies are required by Building Codes to create compartments which limit fire or smoke spread and provide time, paths and prescribed maximum path lengths for building occupants to escape safely. The purpose of firestopping is to restore the rating of fire- and smoke-rated wall and floor/ceiling assemblies destroyed due to joints and penetration by pipes, cables, ducts, busways, cable trays, and miscellaneous structural elements.
