Lenexa, KS
Hyatt Place
Scope/Solutions
The six-story hotel also houses a one-story conference center at the south end. Shortly after construction, hotel personnel observed leaks at several locations. The original contractor asked SGH to investigate the leaks, develop a repair plan, and oversee repairs.
SGH investigated the reported leakage and collaborated with the contractor to develop a repair plan that could be implemented while the building remained occupied. Highlights of our repair design include the following:
- Installing flashing and interior louver waterproofing without removing the existing windows or louvers
- Installing pan flashing below the curtain wall by lowering the front edge of the sill to create the necessary slope for drainage
- Developing details to integrate the weather barrier between adjacent walls systems
- Adding through-wall flashing at the roof line and where a low roof meets a rising wall
We performed confirmation testing to verify repairs successfully addressed the issues.

Harlem Irving Plaza
The shopping mall at 4104 Harlem Avenue was constructed in the mid-1950s. The owner wanted to reinvent the Harlem Irving Plaza by subdividing the former Carson Pirie Scott department store into multiple tenant spaces and adding elevators and escalators within a new three-story atrium to improve connectivity between floors. SGH designed structural modifications for the renovations.

SGH assisted the construction team by analyzing the mass concrete mix design, evaluating placement conditions, and developing a cooling system that allowed CGS to successfully place the mass concrete mat foundation.
