Summary


Nova provided on-site air barrier installation quality assurance observation and testing services for a new elementary school in Tonganoxie, Kansas. The two-story, approximately 120,000-square-foot structure had a fluid-applied air barrier assembly applied to sheathing prior to installation of the exterior brick veneer and composite metal panel.



Highlights


Nova completed multiple site visits during construction to document the installation of the air barrier system, window flashing, and exterior sheathing. Adhesion and thickness tests were completed by certified personnel. Nova reviewed the plans and specification prior to the start of work and recommended revisions to ensure the air barrier was continuous and would perform as intended. By working closely with the project architect, the general contractor, and the air barrier sub-contractor, Nova helped ensure that a quality air barrier system free of defects was installed.
