The use of climate control on construction sites is quickly becoming standard practice. The benefits to using dehumidification and temperature are numerous. Avoid problems, such as:
Concrete slabs emitting water
Moisture on surface during flooring installation
Drywall taping and mudding not drying
Microbial growth
With the proper equipment configuration you can avoid costly delays, earn LEED® credits and improve finishing work installation.
Benefits of Using Climate Control on a Construction Project:
Aids in the drying of mud and natural elements, as well as ground thawing prior to concrete
Accelerates concrete curing and reduces moisture in concrete flooring
Dramatically reduces microbial growth
Prevents contamination of permanent HVAC system prior to move-in
Reduce latent moisture within wall cavities and materials
Promotes uniform dry times on the following products: sheetrock compound, paint and sprayed-on fireproofing
Allows for the acclamation and installation of millwork and other moisture sensitive materials
Deters warping and damage to mill work and permanent wood fixtures
Keeps you on schedule! Avoid moisture/temperature related delays!
Reducing Moisture Content and Accelerating Drying Time
DRYCO is supporting the construction of a 5 story 188 unit condominium by supplying construction drying services. We have delivered and set up 3 each gas fired 5000cfm desiccant dehumidifiers, 3 each gas indirect-fired heaters, 30 each air movers, and 6 each 30 inch construction fans to accelerate the drying of the wood framing to a moisture content of 14%.
Following that application we move into meeting architectural specification requirements to maintain an ambient environment of at least 55 degrees and 50 % or less relative humidity during the installation of wallboard. That process continues by reducing the moisture content of the wallboard to 12% prior to taping and final finishing and decoration of the wallboard. Utilizing DRYCO’s equipment accelerates the drying time of joint compounds from 6 days to 12 hours. The next step will be accelerating the drying process of the gypcrete, a floor leveling compound that is used to level the plywood floor prior to the installation of finished flooring. Finally, DRYCO will be flushing the building to improve indoor air quality by exhausting any contaminants and VOC’s that may been absorbed by sink materials prior to the permanent occupants taking residence in the completed project. This job was sold by Chris Cortinas and set up by Rolando Fernandez and Onecimo Aldana out ofDRYCO’s Seattle, WA office.
