Putnam Hospital ER
Carmel, NY

Putnam Hospital was in need of alterations and additions to its Emergency Department in order to serve its patients with the best possible medical care. TDEG designed a new ambulance entrance and its cover, and separated this entrance from the ambulatory entrance. Additions were made to provide a larger waiting room and registration space, and the ambulatory drop-off approach was enhanced to be more functional to the needs of the patients.

TECH CORNER:
Repairing a Unique Architectural Façade with Specialized Mortars
For the past few years we have been working on the investigation and repair of a unique building in Dutchess County NY that is part of an office complex designed in the early 1960’s by the renowned architect Paul Rudolph. Paul Rudolph was known for designing spatially complex structures that include overhanging concrete elements. At the time that the office complex was underway Mr. Rudolph was the chair of the Yale School of Architecture and was completing the Yale Art and Architecture Building, one of his best known works, that was later renamed Rudolph Hall.
|
|
The unique building, pictured on the right, was constructed in 1964 and the façade includes glass curtain wall and cast-in-place architectural concrete façade. The cast-in-place concrete façade is supported by the structural steel building frame and, in some locations, encases the structural steel spandrel beams. The exposed surfaces of the concrete façade panels are patterned with horizontal formwork lines and also with vertical ribs that were bush-hammered after casting to provide a fractured profile with exposed aggregate.
|
|
The investigation and testing we performed found the building façade to be in generally good condition with localized deterioration resulting from moisture infiltration and corrosion of embedded reinforcing steel and steel framing. As you would expect, the deterioration is limited to the upper portion of the building due to the protection provided to the lower levels by the cantilevered “upside down wedding cake” configuration.
|
|
TDEG designed and specified the concrete repairs using specialized repair mortars that are physically compatible with the 50 year-old concrete. Equally important is the skill of the specialty contractor who has been able to match the color, texture, and pattern of the unique architectural façade. The picture on the right shows an “after” picture of a portion of the repaired façade. Can you spot the patch?
