The training session included a classroom like session followed by field training on a jobsite. Detec provides leading-edge technology in the field of electronic leak detection (ELD), by way of membrane integrity testing and scanning, and automated structure monitoring. Detec Systems visited Terra-Petra’s Los Angeles office this week to conduct a comprehensive education and training session to promote their innovative product line of leak detection technologies. Members of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) earned up to 12 Learning Units (LUs) and Health Safety Welfar (HSW)>Ĭertified ELD Field Testing Crew, left to right: Diego Saucedo, Project Coordinator Andrew Alvarran, Anthony Avina, Alvaro Arellano, Director of Field Operations Daniel Valdez and Chad Herrick of Detect Systems. Geared towards building envelope professionals, architects, engineers, contractors, and facility managers, this program was invaluable to anyone involved with maintaining or designing building envelope systems.Īttendees earned up to 12 Continuing Educational Hours (CEHs) from RCI. Instructor/attendee dialogue was definitely encouraged. With plenty of opportunities to ask questions, attendees got the answers they needed. Presenters reinforced program content with practical examples from applications in the field.
RCI’s expert instructors offered more than just technical data. Speakers offered relevant solutions by referencing real-world examples and specific case histories. The event’s open, inclusive environment encouraged attendees to ask questions and stimulates dialogue. This two-day educational program offered cutting-edge information regarding design, construction, maintenance and repair of modern and/or older building envelopes. We had our executive team on hand ( Barry Taheri, Josh Heidt, Dan Valdezand Justin Conaway). Building Envelope Technology Symposium at the at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee, November 16-17, 2018. The Terra-Petra Waterproofing Division was proud to sponsor the 2018 RCI, Inc. Terra-Petra provides all consulting services for sub-slab vapor barriers consulting services for sub-slab vapor barriers, below-grade waterproofing and drainage, podium and balcony waterproofing, planter waterproofing, and drainage, exterior wall cladding and weather-resistive barriers, and roofing assemblies.įor more information or to discuss your next or current project visit: or contact Barry Taheri. It is very critical for building professionals to survey their buildings and mitigate/repair any attributes that may be the cause or contributing factors of building assembly degradation.Īllowing the building components to “live” in an environment that is non-standard and lends itself to degradation can place the entire building in unchartered territory that lends itself to an unknown reduction of the building’s expected lifecycles and renders the structural experimental rather than predictable. However, in both cases, unless the source of the degradation is repaired and the intrusion is mitigated, the degradation can and will lead to an eventual structural compromise that can result in a catastrophic failure. Such specific conditions may end up affecting the building assemblies that may result in degradation of structural capacity.ĭepending on the building assembly type, the degradation could be slow (masonry assemblies) or rapid (wood assemblies). It is so important to be able to identify adverse moisture and water-related conditions early.
We acknowledge their dedication and professionalism as they work to find those loved ones who are unaccounted for. David Santiago/ Miami Herald via Associated Press
