BEPG was obtained by Findorff Construction Company to assist in providing a design review of construction documents and functional performance testing for the building enclosure of a new health center located on the south side of the City of Madison.
The new facility was created to replace an old, outdated, and undersized facility located just to the south of the new building. The new facility consists of 180,000 SF, five-story healthcare facility featuring a unique exterior design consisting of aluminum windows and an array of patterned brick veneer. On its south elevation is a curtain wall system that allows an absorbent amount of natural light into the building. BEPG completed a design review of the building’s enclosure during the construction documents phase. Other services included recommending and performing different types of functional performance testing procedures to ensure the systems came together properly and are able to perform for the building’s life cycle.
BEPG’s engagement included substantial time on-site to provide Functional Performance Testing of installed building enclosure components to include air barrier testing, curtain wall and aluminum window testing to ensure the installed systems performed to the project requirements that were specified.
