Addressing Mold, Moisture and Durability Concerns in Pre-Rock Construction (BSS076)
Course Description:
Glass mat gypsum panels are changing the interior construction process, allowing for
faster, tighter construction schedules. “Pre-rocking,†as it is called, is when gypsum wall
board is installed before the building envelop is completed or weather tight. This process
not only saves construction time, it also ensures a better quality and code compliant
gypsum panel application. This one hour CEU is designed to focus on the science behind
moisture and durability in pre-rock conditions in commercial construction and how to
streamline the complexities in the construction process.
Learning Objectives:
- 1. Innovations in construction methods and materials are enabling new options in
- project delivery. Top-down construction and pre-rocking will be examined.
- 2. Moisture and its relationship to Indoor Air Quality and durability will be discussed
- as it relates to these changes in technique and scheduling.
- 3. We will discuss some of the variations of gypsum boards that are available and
- how these differences in physical properties can contribute to a more successful
- application.
- 4. Environmental considerations are very important and so a discussion of wetting
- and drying potentials will ensue.
