The 500,000-square-foot, mixed-use community comprises 413 student housing units and 40,000 square feet of retail, dining and entertainment space in Norman, Oklahoma.  Chamberlin’s working history with the general contractor and extensive experience led to them being selected to [waterproof](https://www.chamberlinltd.com/commercial-waterproofing-caulking-services/) the residential complex. A peel-and-stick system was selected for the below-grade waterproofing. The skin of all four buildings received a spray-applied air barrier, firestopping, acoustical sealants and joint sealants. In the parking garage, Chamberlin installed traffic coating, spray-applied water repellents, joint sealants and expansion joints. This was an extremely fast-paced project, as all four buildings and the [parking garage](https://www.chamberlinltd.com/projects/parking-garages/) were built in one year. With the compressed schedule, Chamberlin executed multiple scopes simultaneously.   Before job start up, the project team held an initial planning meeting to determine milestone dates with the general contractor and subcontractors working on the project.  Chamberlin crew members take pride in doing a high-quality job [one time](https://www.chamberlinltd.com/one-time/), the first time. Project superintendents were on site observing and mentoring the crews for appropriate preparation, installation techniques, proper adhesion and desirable aesthetics. Being proactive was vital to productivity on this project. When planning the schedule, a certain percentage of lost time was predicted due to weather during the cold months, as some of the waterproofing products could only be installed at certain minimum temperatures. With this in mind, Chamberlin boosted manpower early to meet schedule needs before weather restrictions arose. Chamberlin crews installed over 240,000 square feet of air barrier in only four months with up to three spray rigs being utilized at the same time. In the parking garage, 320,000 square feet of water repellent was applied in just two weeks. Despite the large scale of work and challenges faced, Chamberlin successfully completed all of their work on or ahead of schedule with [high-quality](https://www.chamberlinltd.com/safety-quality-teamwork-value/) installations and zero safety incidents. ![Zero safety incidents](https://www.chamberlinltd.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/2599.png) [read full article](https://www.chamberlinltd.com/articles/waterproofing-new-residence-oklahoma-university/) #### Subscribe Today!
