As part of our quality assurance role conducting regular field review, RDH can perform water penetration testing of installed windows and glazing assemblies. Although independent testing agencies can conduct the same testing, we find that our knowledge of the building enclosure systems and details for each project allows us to quickly determine the source of any failures, and to provide quick feedback and resolution to effectively address any problems.

“On the Shangri-La project, RDH was intimately involved in the mock-up testing of the curtain wall and performed all of the site testing and commissioning of the curtain wall system. Early in construction, RDH’s quality assurance testing program identified an issue that resulted in water infiltration...RDH worked quickly and collaboratively with the curtain wall manufacturer to make changes to the assembly process to resolve the issue. We were impressed with their common sense team-work approach to the resolution of problems.”
