Academe at 198

SGH consulted on the design of below-grade and plaza waterproofing, exterior walls, curtain walls, courtyard skylights, terrace waterproofing, and roofing. Highlights of our work include:

• Reviewing the project’s design and performance criteria
• Recommending systems and details to provide continuity across the exterior enclosure
• Collaborating with the project team to review performance mockups of the unitized exterior wall assemblies
• Consulting on the waterproofing design for the below-grade levels, entry plaza and sidewalks over occupied space, third-floor courtyard, and seventh-floor terrace
• Recommending details to integrate different systems, such as intersections of the prefabricated wall assembly with roofing, terrace waterproofing, and the penthouse
• Consulting on transitions between skylights and courtyard plaza waterproofing
• Developing property line details to terminate below-grade/blind-side waterproofing and provide flashing at two adjacent buildings
• Visiting the prefabricated wall assembly facility to observe and document their quality assurance/quality control procedures
• Providing construction phase services, including reviewing submittals, visiting the site to observe ongoing construction, performing watertightness warranty inspections for the below-grade waterproofing, and helping the project team address field conditions
