| Expansion Project Will Require Field Testing for Water Penetration |
Tampa construction projects like the one being completed by Barton Malow are subjected to higher winds and large volumes of wind driven rain from time to time. The critical union of the building's structure and the windows are of the highest importance to ensure a healthful and sustainable environment for staff and patients.
The key to the project's success lies in testing. Making sure it's right from the beginning is the only way to deliver a high quality moisture intrusion free building.
For a project of this size, a mock-up of the installed system makes the most sense. Once completed, it can easily be field tested to verify that the joining of the two components within the building envelope works. From that point, it's a matter of replication of the process and staying true to attention to detail. Periodic testing throughout the project at 30 - 60 and 100 % of completion should help to keep the team focused and accountable.
