Project challenge
The building-protection scope involved both existing and new substrate surfaces as well as openings that required dedicated barriers. Coordinating those conditions required a work package covering surface preparation, composite installation and door-dam systems. Delta assisted with project development alongside Meshek & Associates, whose contract documents defined the work.
Project approach
The specified composite treatment consisted of two layers of glass fiber-reinforced polymer following preparation of the concrete and masonry surfaces. Door dams were included as a separate installation element, with their own shop drawings for review and approval. Both systems were to be installed according to the respective manufacturers’ recommendations.
Delivery and coordination
Delta’s scope included procurement and installation of the treatment materials and door barriers, along with shop-drawing submissions. Barricades and signs were part of the work-area plan. TMC Construction coordinated unobstructed access, staging and debris disposal. This division of responsibilities connected the building-surface work with the barrier installations at the openings.
Project significance
The Kingfisher project illustrates a flood-protection application for composite materials. Its distinguishing feature is the combination of surface treatment and purpose-built door barriers within the same scope. Delta brought installation experience and project-development support to a telecommunications facility, integrating the specified systems into a coordinated construction package.
