Gearing Up For Additional Water Penetration Testing

Recon Independent Assessments will be on the road again this week providing ASTM E - 1105 Field Testing in Florida and Georgia.

Ongoing projects in both states are keeping us busy.  Storefront and operable windows have been the primary focus of late, with a little curtain wall thrown in for good measure.

Water penetration field testing of newly installed windows, storefront and curtain wall systems is very important to providing a watertight building envelope.  Test early in a project and maintain testing throughout to ensure adherence to quality throughout all phases of the installation.

Recon Independent Assessments is currently seeking new opportunities for ASTM field testing in Alabama and South Carolina.  Contact us today to request a proposal for testing.

Building Diagnostics and Installation Verification - Recon Has Been Busy Testing Statewide

Recon Independent Assessments was recruited to assist on a project in Boca Raton to help determine what failures existed in the building envelope in a two story multi unit business condo that were contributing to or causing water intrusion and associated damage.

After four full days of testing we were able to issue a written report of findings to help guide the engineer providing remediation recommendations.

Testing was performed in accordance to ASTM standards for building envelope evaluation testing.

Pre-construction meetings in Port St. Lucie were held to get an exciting new biomedical  facility underway.  Extensive building envelope inspections and window installation verification testing will follow.

In Ft. Pierce the IRSC campus is still growing.  An initial round of testing of installed fenestration has been completed successfully.

A walk through was performed in Jacksonville at UNF to help guide the installer there with what to expect in the future when testing commences.  The project team has contracted with Recon Independent Assessments to test 100% of the installed fenestration to ensure that water intrusion issues are avoided for the owner. There is nothing that says reputation for excellence better than a commitment to a vigorous testing program.

In Orlando, testing is ongoing on an OCPS project to test the installed operable windows and storefront to ensure that the systems have been installed to standard. 

Also in Orlando, field testing on the Federal Courthouse was completed successfully as well.

Despite the busy schedule, Recon is still seeking out more projects to be involved with.  If your upcoming project requires testing, let us know we're ready and able to provide your project specific proposal of cost.  No need to be sitting down when you get it, we're keeping it real.

Florida Field Testing, our sister company has been busy as well.
