Structural Integration

• The parking facility must be designed to withstand all aspects of environmental conditions.
  
• Cast in place concrete, pre-cast concrete and structural steel can be used for the structural design.
  
• Size and length of some structures,  compound the expansion and contraction issues in facility design.
  
• The surface of the "floor" of the facility should be slip resistant for both the automobile and pedestrian.
  
• Drainage and floor slope is very important, as ponding water can create long term maintenance problems.
  
• Performance objectives, Cost effectiveness and building commissioning should be taken into account.
