Starting modification of an existing foundation in downtown Indianapolis. The basement of the building extends beneath the sidewalk. The city is replacing the sidewalks so the basement needs to be shut off at the building facade face. The existing support of stone is 2 feet thick. The open spaces will be filled with 12 inch block and an abundance of steel. The area to be filled under the new sidewalk was connected from building to building and served as a passage to feed city steam and other utilities.

Work continues on the 100 year old Indiana Oxygen Building. The south end pictured here has proved to be as bad as we thought. I measured a 4” lean out of plumb from the top of the windows to the top of the parapet wall before work began. This was caused, by all things, rust. The steel lintels at the top of the windows had rusted to the point that it caused the wall above it to rock back and break away. This condition is called rust jacking and is very common in old buildings. The simple solution is to remove and replace the steel but the damage here is to extensive and will necessitate more repair. The plan now is to pull down, brick by brick, the damaged areas and rebuild them. To further complicate things the limestone coping that caps the wall weighs in at about 800 lbs. That’s just one stone. Two stories in the air. Jake and his crew from Heritage Masonry are doing an outstanding job.

Work on the Indiana Oxygen Building has begun. Heritage Masonry is replacing the steel lintels above all the second story windows. All of the brick is being salvaged and reused. Repair work is also being done to all the ornamental limestone features as well as the limestone coping that caps the walls. Some extensive repairs will happen on the south facade. When done, work will begin on the windows.
