On Demand: This course will review the standard and test methods for gutter systems that secure membrane on commercial low-slope roof systems for load resistance and why that is important for specifiers.
On-Demand: This session will also focus on identifying the right clients, winning them over, and positioning your firm uniquely in the market. Prepare to be inspired by one of the most accomplished and forward-thinking experts in the AE industry!
On-Demand: This course will introduce participants to the fundamentals of prefabricated walls, and detail the features, benefits, and design considerations of Prefabricated EIFS-Clad Wall Assemblies.
On-Demand: This course will teach you about cold fluid-applied waterproofing systems which use specific types of chemistry to create an instant-setting, seamless membrane. Learn about their technical advantages, how these systems are installed, and the advantages of having full technical support during installation.
On-Demand: This one-hour course will cover Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) testing methods used for quality assurance of roofing and waterproofing membranes. Participants will learn about the principles outlined in the ASTM Standard Guide D7877 and ASTM Standard Practice D8231 and will be able to identify which assemblies are compatible with electronic testing and active monitoring.
A step-by-step look at each critical detail in regards to sequence of construction and the various connections to ensure airtight/watertight and thermally protected details. Real life photos and job conditions will highlight the realities of the construction process to show typical errors found and how those errors can be addressed correctly.
This course explores recommendations for design considerations and considerations for selecting the right below-grade waterproofing materials that meet the requirements for various jobsite conditions.
