Sealant Keeps Project on Track After Ventilation Shafts Fail Pressure Tests
CENTERVILLE, Ohio — Aeroseal duct sealant helped Ohio State University’s (OSU’s) William Hall Complex Extension project save considerable expense. When tests indicated that the new building’s ventilation shafts had unacceptable leakage, engineers faced the possibility of having to tear down many of the new walls and manually seal each of the leaks. The unexpected work would have had a significant impact on project costs and set the completion date back by half a year or more.
Fortunately, someone on the engineering team had heard about Aeroseal’s sealing technology. With this solution, workers were able to seal all 19 shafts of the six-story dormitory building in less than two weeks, saving costs and allowing the construction schedule to remain on track.
