CASE STUDIES
LESS IS MORE WITH AUTOMATED PARKING
Automated Parking Systems (APS) minimize the size and depth of necessary excavation compared to multi-story parking garages. The reduced level-to-level height means that excavation depths for APS are roughly 25 to 30% less than for conventional underground garages. This translates into substantial savings in excavation costs as well as reduced project risk.
