As Consultants, we are able to provide an array of diversified services. Our services are designed to foresee any potential problems during the design, fabrication, construction or post occupancy phases of the projects we are involved with. Such services are implemented through written protocols after the scope of the project and our level of involvement has been established with the client.

Review of shop drawings and calculations

Pursuant to the requirements of the bid documents, Miami Curtain Wall Consultants Corp. review and process all necessary shop drawings to ensure complete fabrication and installation of all required project components. MCWC verify the structural calculations against the design pressures noted on the Notice of Acceptance (N.O.A.) for the product to be installed. We also compare the N.O.A.’s to the shop drawings, confirming that the selected system has been approved by the local jurisdiction.

Threshold and Special Inspections

Threshold buildings require dedicated “Threshold” inspectors that are specifically assigned to perform structural inspections in such buildings. According to the Florida Building Code, building officials may assign special inspectors to a project. Miami Curtain Wall Consultants Corp. provides Special and Threshold inspectors upon request allowing us to achieve client satisfaction pursuant to all Building Code requirements. MCWC will provide a statement of inspection defining and agreeable disposition over the installation of the project, upon satisfactory completion of the inspection plan.

Waterproofing

As Waterproofing consultants, we are able to study the environmental diseases and physical abnormalities that afflict today’s construction practices. Understanding such causes and the consequential effects, enables us with the ability to develop a waterproofing and restoration plan with detailed specifications to solve today’s problems.

MCWC makes every effort to provide our clients with recommendations and solutions to prevent any passage of water or air through the exterior envelope of the building.

We provide a full scope of inspection services covering all aspects of the structure; from below grade to the roof. We are familiar with the use of Bentonite technology, Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic injection chemical grout, coatings for planters and decks and Bentogrouting for basements, tunnels and elevator pits.

Epoxy Injections:
MCWC also covers the full range of epoxy injections, from low viscosity ( used in deep thin structural cracks), injection gels, soil stabilization, underwater injections systems, flexible epoxy for high traffic industrial floor joints, the new Polyurea technology, epoxy deck coatings and the newest technology of structural repair known as “cross stitching”. 

Expansion Joints:
MCWC covers the full range of expansions joints from compression joint technology, pre-formed joints for parking decks and bridges, interior stainless steel joints, compression joints for portable water tanks, the typical Peterson joint and perimeter sealants.

Mock Up / Laboratory testing

Once evaluated, full scale building mock-ups provide useful information that can lead to increased reliability and reduced construction and maintenance costs. The services we offer can help you achieve that goal.

Water Infiltration test

MCWC monitors all testing procedures and prepare complete reports which include the test results and the description of the assembly tested. Should test failure occur, MCWC evaluates all remedial actions taken by the Sub-contractor.

Air Infiltration test

MCWC strongly believe that one of the most common air leakage problems of all wall and curtain wall systems originate at the transition points between dissimilar materials. Air leaks mostly occur at weep hole and drain hole locations.

By conducting a uniform Static Air Infiltration Test, MCWC can help to determine the degree of severity and origin of the leak.
