Iris Technologies

Design Assistance

 

Iris Technologies’ extensive experience in forensic engineering and failure analysis makes us well-suited to assist in the design of complex building details and the construction oversight of critical building assemblies. Our history of reactive failure analyses provides the ground work for advanced proactive design of new and remodeled projects ranging from indoor pool facilities (natatoriums) and resilient floor systems to complex roofing and deck waterproofing systems. Iris Technologies can develop in-depth project specifications, unique flashing or building assembly details and comprehensive project flow charts to ensure that a construction project is completed properly and at minimum cost. Iris Technologies also offers a full range of commissioning services, including a comprehensive review of the design process, identification of critical and fatal flaws associated with complex construction projects, and monitoring and verification of all construction activities.

Iris Technologies has provided oversight and assistance in numerous construction-related projects including:

  • The Design and Oversight of a Moisture-Resistant Seamless Flooring System in an Active Surgical Center
  • Modifications to Architectural Details for a Natatorium to Avoid Long-term Condensation Problems
  • Design of Roof Ventilation Details to Prevent the Development of Ice Formations
  • Testing and Redesign of EIFS and Stucco Details to Prevent Moisture Intrusions
  • Development of Roof Details to Avoid Thermally-Generated Acoustical Problems in a Large Residence
