Parking structures
A deck that has to shed water for fifty years.
A parking structure is exposed concrete taking traffic, chlorides and weather for decades. Post-tensioned pours, traffic coating, expansion joints and drainage all have to be right, because there is no ceiling to hide them behind. RTI captures the proof at each pour and each joint.
What gets in the way, and what RTI does about it
Today
Once the deck is poured, there is no way to prove the tendons and embeds were where the drawings put them.
With RTI
The pre-pour submission is photo gated on the tendon profile, anchors and embeds, so a walk done before the concrete covers it captures the proof at the one moment it can be.
Today
Traffic coating and expansion joints get called done, then leak into the level below a year later with no record of how they were prepped.
With RTI
The coating and each joint carry required photos of substrate, application and seal, so the durability work is documented on the deck, not reconstructed after the first leak.
Today
A deck-repair dispute lands years out and the paper trail is a folder nobody trusts.
With RTI
Every entry is hashed over the previous one with SHA-256, so the pour and coating records are dated, any change to their answers or approvals shows on verification, and they stay yours to export after the job closes.

Questions parking structures ask
3 answers
- Post-tensioned pours have to be right before the concrete goes in. How does RTI catch that?
- The pre-pour submission is photo gated. It cannot close until the tendon profile, chair heights, anchors and embeds are photographed against the deck's tag. Inspect before the pour, the only time it can be verified, and the record shows the tendons were where they belonged.
- Traffic coating and joints are the parts that fail early. Can the walk hold them to a standard?
- Yes. Traffic-bearing coating and each expansion joint carry checklist items with required photos of the prepared substrate, the coating and the joint seal, so the durability work is evidenced on the deck instead of assumed once cars are parking on it.
- Durability claims come up years later. Is there a record that holds up?
- Every submission and review decision writes to a tamper evident activity log that hashes each entry over the previous one with SHA-256. Years on, when a deck-repair dispute starts, the pour and coating inspections are dated, their answers and approvals are sealed and any change since shows when the chain is verified, and the files you export are yours to keep, subscription or not.
