Western Specialty Contractors Wins Award for Façade Sealant Repairs
The Western Specialty Contractors – Ft. Lauderdale, Florida Branch was part of a team recently honored with a Sealant, Waterproofing, and Restoration Institute (SWR Institute) Trinity Project Award (Sealant Category) for repairs made to the Broward Financial Centre façade during the height of the pandemic. The SWR Institute Trinity Project Award provides an opportunity for member companies to showcase unique project accomplishments and also recognizes the collaboration of contractors, manufacturers, and associate members in three project type categories (sealant/waterproofing/restoration). All entries are judged by a three-person panel of SWR Institute peers, with the winners announced during the organization's Winter Technical Meeting held in March.
“The high-complexity solutions incorporated for the repairs respected the unique building architecture and presented numerous challenges during installation, which were further enhanced by site constraints,” according to SWR Institute award information. “This project showcased consistent and positive collaboration among the team, which included the owner, architect/engineer, contractor, and manufacturers. Site safety protocols and quality control testing led the project team’s priorities and, as such, were routinely performed. Despite the unforeseen global pandemic, the repairs were completed while minimizing the construction impacts on the community and environment.”
