An early Fall quiz at University of North Florida has begun.
Punched openings with HC 75 storefront windows are being tested for water penetration resistance.
Later in the semester, curtain wall will be tested.
The ASTM E 1105 is the standard and test method.
Recon Independent Assessments continues to be a leader in the post secondary education construction market.
Future testing on other campuses will take place this Fall in New York, Hawaii, Florida and Mississippi.
Contact us if your Facilities Department has new buildings under construction that require Third Party Field Testing of installed windows, curtain wall, skylights or storefronts.

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.

ASTM D5957 Guide for Flood Testing Horizontal Waterproofing Installations
Billions of dollars are spent annually to address leaking roofs, with damage ranging from minor water stains and electrical outages to complete structural failure of the roof.
The National Roofing Contractors Association estimates that up to 40% of flat roofs develop serious problems within one year of installation.
With the recent increase in "Green Building" and LEED Projects, the ASTM D-5957 is increasingly being specified to confirm waterproofing on areas of "live roofing". The prospect of finding a leak beneath a section of "live roof" is ominous and daunting.
A well designed system, applied correctly and tested effectively is the key to a successful project.
We're here to assist you on your next project where the ASTM D-5957 is called for in the Project Specifications.
