PURPOSE AND SCOPE
CG Engineering was retained by the City of Port Townsend to perform a visual assessment of the Mountain
View Pool building’s structure. The purpose of the assessment is to assist the City with determining the
scope and cost of rehabilitating the pool building. It is our understanding that the City will also retain an
architect and MEP consultant to provide additional recommendations for rehabilitation.
Our findings are summarized in this report. Our observations and recommendations are limited to areas
of the structure that were visible and accessible. Destructive investigations and tests were not carried out
as a part of this assessment. Our observations were limited to the structure itself and did not include any
observations of architectural components or MEP systems.

BUILDING DESCRIPTION
The Mountain View Pool was constructed in 1962. The pool was originally open air, and the pool building
roof and walls were built in the early 1970s. The pool building is connected to a gymnasium and childcare
center that was also built in the 1970s. The building was re-roofed in the 1990s, and a new vinyl coating
had been installed on the roof surface in September 2023.
The pool building’s roof structure consists of tongue-and-groove car decking over glulam purlins that run
in the north-south direction. The purlins are supported by a glulam ridge beam that runs in the east-west
direction. The ridge beam is supported by the exterior concrete walls and two steel pipe columns in the
building interior. All exterior walls are full-height concrete. The interior walls of the locker rooms and
bathrooms are CMU. Wood-framed attic spaces are located over the locker rooms and lobby area. Little
is known about the existing roofing, except that it is TPO over rigid insulation according to City staff. The
original construction drawings for the pool and pool building were not available for our review at the time
of this report.
The pool deck is primarily slab on grade. Portions of the north and west sides of the pool deck span over
an existing concrete mechanical access tunnel. A mechanical equipment room is located below the men’s
locker room. The ceiling of the mechanical room (and men’s locker room floor) is framed with reinforced
concrete slab, beams, and columns. The mechanical room floor is slab-on-grade. A second 3’ wide by 4’
tall mechanical access tunnel runs from the mechanical room to the adjacent building. The existing
foundation system is unknown, but it is assumed to be conventional spread footings.
STRUCTURAL OBSERVATIONS
During our site visit on 10/10/23, we observed water staining on the existing roof framing showing signs
of potential water damage. We probed the stained areas with a steel awl to determine if there was rot
damage. We also visually assessed the condition of the concrete walls and slabs/ceilings in the pool area,
mechanical rooms, locker rooms, and mechanical access tunnels.
· Roof T&G Decking
The roof decking appeared in good condition. Many areas of the soffit were observed with
substantial water staining. However, probing of the wood revealed these stains were superficial.
· Glulam Purlins and Ridge Beams
The glulam roof beams appeared in good condition. While significant water staining was
observed in some beams, these were all determined to be superficial.
· Glulam Steel Hangers and Fasteners
The steel hangers and post caps at the glulam beams appeared in good condition. Minor surface
rust was observed at the east ridge beam connection to the exterior wall.
· Steel Pipe Columns
The existing steel pipe columns appeared in good condition. A small superficial rust spot was
observed as the base of the central steel column.

· Concrete Walls
The existing concrete walls appeared in good condition. Minor temperature cracking was
observed over the exit door on the southeast corner of the building. This crack is visible from
the interior and exterior of the building. A horizontal crack was observed in an exterior concrete
wall at the northwest corner of the building. In some locations, cracks were observed in the
glass block windows along the eastern exterior wall.
· Pool Room Equipment Pad
The existing equipment pad in the pool room is a concrete-over-steel-deck slab sitting on a
concrete house-keeping pad. The steel deck had rusted and corroded away entirely in some
locations. The concrete slab also had minor localized spalling. The concrete house-keeping pad
appeared in good condition.
· Men’s Locker Room Floor Slab/Mechanical Room Ceiling Slab
There is a large crack in the mechanical room ceiling just inside the mech room entrance door.
This crack is directly below the men’s locker room, but no crack was found in the locker room
floor slab. The crack appeared to be a shrinkage crack and likely does not affect the structural
integrity of the floor slab.
· Locker Room CMU Walls
A hairline crack was observed in the men’s locker room CMU walls. This crack is likely due to
temperature and shrinkage of the masonry and does not affect the structural integrity of the
wall.
· Mechanical Access Tunnels
The metal decking in the mechanical tunnels was severely rusted and corroded. In the observed
locations, the decking had fallen away from the concrete slab above and was hanging loosely.
The decking appears to be non-structural and was likely formwork used during the original
construction. Moisture was observed on the mechanical room tunnel floor suggesting water
leakage from above. Cracking was observed in the sidewalk slab directly above the tunnel. The
sidewalk slab is likely a non-structural topping slab, and the cracking is due to the temperature
differential between the tunnel and sidewalk slab. All observations were made from the tunnel
entrance as conditions were deemed unsafe for access due to limited airflow in a confined
space.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Generally, we found minimal damage to the existing structure. Water staining and rust on the roof
framing and steel connectors appeared superficial. The recently added vinyl roof coating appears to
have been successful in temporarily preventing further water intrusion to the structural framing. Minor
cracks in the concrete/CMU walls and concrete slabs appeared to be temperature and shrinkage related
and should not affect the integrity of the structure. As part of the overall rehabilitation of the building,
we recommend the following.

· Non-structural repairs/refinishing
Water-stained areas of the roof framing shall be cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial
product prior to repainting. We recommend that the rusted portions of the steel hangers and
steel columns be sand blasted (or other means) down to bare metal prior to repainting.
· Mechanical Access Tunnels
All corroded/damaged metal decking in the tunnels shall be removed. Water leaking into the
tunnel, particularly the tunnel under the exterior courtyard, will continue unless the tunnel is
waterproofed. If waterproofing is deemed necessary by the City, we recommend that a
waterproofing consultant be retained to provide recommendations. Waterproofing will likely
involve saw cutting the existing sidewalk and installing a membrane over the tunnel’s roof.
· Mechanical Room Housekeeping Pad
The mechanical housekeeping pad shall be demolished and replaced with a new pad. The size
and location of the new pad depends on what new equipment will be needed in the room and
should be coordinated with the mechanical engineer.
· Reroof
We recommend retaining a building envelope consultant to determine the remaining service life
of the existing roof. When the roof is replaced, the top of the roof decking shall be inspected for
water and rot damage. If areas of rot are discovered, particularly over the glulam beams, then
the decking shall be removed to determine if the beams have sustained any damage.
· Seismic Evaluation and ADA Improvements
Rehabilitation of the ADA and MEP systems may trigger a seismic evaluation and retrofit of the
structure. The seismic evaluation requirements depend on the extent of the overall project work
area and will need to be determined after the scope of the ADA and MEP improvements have
been determined. Seismic retrofits could add substantial cost to the overall project. Additionally,
any ADA improvements may necessitate additional structural work and cost.
