Broward Community College is retrofitting a building on the North Campus. The installation of operable aluminum windows is being tested to ensure the building is resists water penetration as designed.
Initial Testing of the system resulted in the need for extensive diagnostic field testing to help ensure a proper remedial plan to prevent further problems with uncontrolled water entering the interior.
A representative from the factory where the window system was built participated in the testing. A fix was agreed upon and implemented.
After the remedial fix was applied additional field testing was conducted to validate the results. A significant number of openings were selected to have testing performed.
The field testing was successful.
The staff from the Community College are extremely happy with the requirement for field testing and the improved quality that resulted from having it in place.
