Building Envelope Consulting
WHAT DO WE DO FOR YOU?
Design, Evaluate, and Manager Your Building Envelope to Keep You Dry
The goal of REI’s Building Envelope service is to ensure your building maintains an effective and appropriate barrier between the outside and inside environments. Our approach begins with a thorough understanding of the history of the project from which we develop an organized approach to determine both the cause and the best solutions to the infiltration.
Investigative and analytical methods include review of the construction drawings; excavation electronic probing to observe adhesion, delamination, deterioration, moisture content, and anticipated service life; visual and infrared photography; leak testing and expert visual observation.

Pavement Management
WHAT DO WE DO FOR YOU?
Optimize Pavement Performance to Reduce Repair Costs and Maintenance Requirements
REI Engineers utilizes procedures established by the US Army Corps of Engineers and outlined in the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) for pavement management systems .
Pavements (both flexible and rigid) are a necessary component to a facility’s infrastructure. Proper maintenance is crucial in maximizing the useful service life of all improved surfaces.
A Pavement Management System (PMS) helps by identifying and quantifying deficiencies and developing procedures to address each deficiency. A properly structured PMS can help pay for itself through reduced repair costs and optimized maintenance.
Although true pavement condition is a function of several varying factors (many requiring subsurface investigation and/or expensive equipment), a reasonable approximation of the condition can be determined through close field inspection and the development of a Pavement Condition Index (PCI).
Data collected in the field is analyzed in order to determine a PCI for all improved surfaces. The PCI helps to prioritize future pavement maintenance and repair.
