Hidden Wall Conditions Guide Reinforcement Work at 629–633 Cleveland Street

Interior demolition exposes CMU walls at 629-633 Cleveland Street.
The interior space at 629–633 Cleveland Street shows exposed walls during demolition preparation.

During demolition at 629–633 Cleveland Street, crews uncovered existing concrete masonry unit (CMU) wall conditions that required additional structural attention. The walls were found to be hollow and unreinforced, prompting a reinforcement plan that includes adding steel reinforcement and grouting the CMU cells solid. This work strengthens the building’s structure as redevelopment progresses.
