Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind – Brick Veneer Support Design – Staunton, VA

Brick Veneer Support Design - Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind - Staunton, VA
Working with the heavy commercial contractor at the VSDB expansion project, Schnitzhofer & Associates, LLC completed the support design system needed to allow selective removal of the existing lower courses of brick veneer. The brick removal allowed for installation of new flashing. Due to the nature of the brick layout, “arching action” of the brick was not useable during our analysis. The brick veneer partitions carried all of the brick above, disallowing partial removal and re-install. S&A designed an epoxy anchored thru-bolt brick support system allowing the contractor to conduct installation from the interior of the building, minimizing damage to the existing brick veneer while allowing an adeqaute “open” workspace for the team replacing the brick.
