How A Luxury Miami Condo Complex Climate-Proofed Their Foundation

“It’s essentially a cruise ship we maintain daily,” says Rishi Idnani, referring to The Continuum, a luxury condo complex on Miami Beach where he is Managing Director. The two-tower, 13-acre beachfront property recently underwent a massive infrastructure improvement 20 years after the building was completed, with a focus on keeping one step ahead of the weather elements that threaten the concrete foundation as well as modernizing the grand entryway.

“When we first started there was very little understanding overall about waterproofing and structural preservation,” explained Idnani. “In any luxury condominium, that’s not something you're looking at when purchasing. You look at the the list of the amenities, your views, your floor plans, your building security.”in Miami’s suburb of Surfside occurred and residents suddenly became acutely aware of the need for the upgrades.

The $8 million overhaul started at deep structural levels accessed through the underground garage. Here, slabs were exposed and repaired, the existing waterproofing system was removed and replaced with the most advanced version and new topping slabs were installed using 4000 PSI quality concrete. Above ground a state-of-the-art bi-level drainage system and hot rubberized asphalt waterproofing system were added to prevent water seepage.

The new system is designed to last 20 years before needing another significant refurbishment, according to Idnani.
