Roseland Community Center <br />Project # 17-0201 <br />August 15, 2017 <br />1. Executive Summary <br />MBV Engineering, Inc. is pleased to submit this report following our directed, limited inspection <br />and evaluation of the Roseland Community Center. This study was specifically requested to <br />determine significances and the extent of defects in the roofing system, floor system, windows, <br />wall systems, doors, sidewalks and to determine current ADA and life safety compliance. This <br />report presents our findings, conclusions and recommendations. <br />2. Introduction <br />The purpose of our inspection was to review the condition of the structure/elements as they now <br />stand(s), and to determine the elements which are affecting the normal working conditions and <br />do not meet current code requirements. <br />Our visual and preliminary inspections are not expected to reveal elaborate defects, which are <br />not evident by deterioration exposed to view or evident to the trained eye as the elements now <br />stand. It must be understood the Engineer can only provide certification of the conditions of the <br />elements within the limits of the inspection performed; whether the materials have decreased <br />beyond the extent of the inspection performed, is out of the scope of this assessment. <br />The scope of our investigation was to do a preliminary overall condition assessment of the <br />roofing system, floor system, windows, wall systems, doors, sidewalks and to determine current <br />ADA and life safety compliance. The inspection consisted of a visual survey performed to record <br />signs of deterioration to the elements as well as looking for signs of defective construction. MBV <br />Engineering, Inc. was asked to pay special attention to any termite and moisture damage seen at <br />the time of inspection. <br />MBV Engineering, Inc. performed an elevation survey of the interior of the structure and of the <br />surrounding sidewalks and parking area to determine current on site elevations. The equipment <br />used to perform this was a Spectra Precision LL300N Transit -and a HL450 Laserometer attached <br />to the elevation rod. <br />MBV performed a qualitative, infrared survey, as well with the attempt to identify and report on <br />thermal patterns associated with trapped moisture in <br />the structures interior walls, roofing, ceilings, and <br />exterior wall sections. This infrared survey also serves <br />to determine existing filled cells in the masonry walls <br />as well as to determine areas of missing or insufficient,,,,,,,yz„� <br />insulation. This infrared survey is limited to visible <br />areas of the structure's wall assemblies. <br />A long -wave uncooled micro -bolometer, FLIR E6 with <br />MSX Thermal Imaging Enhancement, radiometric <br />thermal imager with a 45 -degree and 34 -degree lens <br />was used to scan the interior and exterior sections of <br />the building. <br />2 <br />
