Bryan Payne Chamberlin waterproofing Project Manager, , faced the challenge by coming up with a creative solution that was two-fold.First, the team put together the "swing stage diaper.""In order to prevent falling debris," Payne said, "we attached a mesh netting directly to the building beneath the floor in which we were working. he debris net was attached using self-drilling screws and anchored into the existing curtain wall frame system."The debris net hung under the swing stage and attached to the top of the back rail thereby catching any debris that might fall.

Secondly, and most uniquely, all remaining glass was completely covered with an elastomeric sheet membrane."This sheet membrane, which is actually designed for below grade waterproofing, bonds tenaciously to glass," Payne said. he Chamberlin crew was then able to safely break the windowpanes to the inside of the building without the risk of losing shards of glass below.

Payne reflects on the project with pride: "One thing that I consider the most unique about Chamberlin's role in this project versus other projects is the degree in which we were able to impact the schedule.All finishes, dry wall, etc. could not take place until our work was complete and the new glass was installed."
