December 2016 Company Newsletter: No Fly Zone!

Bartkowski Life Safety Corp • Dec 05, 2016

This is a subtitle for your new post

No Fly Zone!

There was a time when getting in early and running services tight to the deck before

other trades started work was admissible and acceptable. Today with BIM, 3-D modeling and other advancements in planning and coordination, there continues to be an ongoing issue surfacing on new projects and in existing facilities alike: Penetrations running through construction joints .

In this issue, we discuss this specific practice – the routing of services through construction joints (head of wall, slab edge, expansion joints…) and why this practice should be avoided.

Specifically, we address:

  • the impact of penetrations at construction joints
  • what is a No Fly Zone’
  • how to establish a ‘No Fly Zone’

I hope you enjoy this topic.
