Ghirardelli Associates provided inspection services on the emergency repair of soffits and beams underneath Pier 33 for the Port of San Francisco. Over the years, the salt water environment had severely deteriorated portions of the structure and the repair consisted of chipping away bad concrete and installing additional rebar, silica-fume shotcrete and an acrylic elastomeric waterproof coating.
