SUMMARY:Navigating the Complexities of Expansion Joint System Installation for Stadium Construction 1.0 CEU/HSW
DESCRIPTION:Navigating the Complexities of Expansion Joint System Installation for Stadium Construction\nThe installation of expansion joint systems in stadium construction presents unique challenges due to the structural demands and operational requirements of these large-scale venues. This presentation will explore the technical intricacies associated with planning\, coordinating\, and executing expansion joint system installations with particular emphasis on the critical role of effective interfacing with various substrates and the extensive logistical coordination required for a seamless\, water-tight installation. Key discussion points will include the process of ensuring proper preparation and alignment with various substrates\, which are often subject to irregularities and environmental conditions that could impact the performance and longevity of the joint systems. This presentation will reference a confidential new NFL stadium on the East Coast and analyze the importance of pre-installation assessment\, surface preparation\, and substrate compatibility in addressing and/or minimizing issues that could lead to system failure or compromised system integrity. \nLearning Objectives: \n\n Identify the Role and Importance of Expansion Joint Systems in Large-Scale Stadium Projects\n Examine Best Practices for Interfacing Expansion Joints with Concrete Substrates\n Analyze Logistical and Sequencing Challenges in Expansion Joint Installation\n Identify Common Types of Expansion Joint Materials and Installation Challenges\n\nRegister Now \nJack Belanger\, Vice President\, MTN Inc. \nJack Belanger is a Vice President for MTN Inc.\, a national Division-7 waterproofing and specialty contractor. Jack brings over 20 years of experience in commercial construction ranging from maintaining and extending useful lives of new commercial buildings and structures to performing restoration aspects of commercial structures while utilizing leading technologies to ensure building envelope continuity. Jack is proficient in various technologies including below-grade waterproofing systems\, expansion joint systems\, above-grade air/vapor barriers\, joint sealants\, commercial roofing systems\, traffic coatings\, epoxy coatings\, and hot- and cold- applied waterproofing. \n
