Reno Women’s Homeless Shelter

This project at 335 Record St. in downtown Reno, Nevada, was the anchor in the renovation of downtown Reno. Coupled with a new baseball stadium (The Reno Aces Triple A Team) across the train tracks, this area was specific to helping homeless people with Catholic Charities directly across the parking lot.  The construction involved renovations of several industrial buildings built in the early 1900s. With our forensics investigations, we were able to suggest a complete overhaul of the community. We worked with BJG Architecture & Engineering in Reno, Nevada, and assisted in the design of the Roofing Systems on the several buildings at the new homeless shelter to be occupied specifically by women and children.  Our work with BJG was instrumental in providing economical yet robust Roofing Systems to accommodate the weather extremes common in Reno.

Chris Rivero apartment, downtown Sacramento

We conducted an infrared survey that quickly showed conclusive evidence of moisture intrusion off of an exterior bedroom deck. The connection of the deck to the apartment building was a conduit for water intrusion. The moisture flowed along structural members in the flooring/ceilings that drew the water inward, to the interior of the bottom floor apartment. An initial assessment would have concluded a plumbing issue in the apartment above, but the infrared allowed us to pinpoint the exact location of waterproofing failures.

Waste Internment Pilot Plant stores nuclear waste products below ground. Waste comes from all over the United States. It’s maintenance and renovation is a sensitive endeavor. We developed a reroof design over multiple roofs across the complex. Each had a specific design with very different extenuating circumstances and design issues. Besides being several hundred feet above grade and requiring an impermeable vapor barrier, the roofing and seals were critical. Design details were individually developed and specific to each condition.

Fontainebleau YSL, Las Vegas, Nevada

Air and water barrier design

ImCon developed the air and water barrier design on both the exterior and interior walls to separate outside conditions from the interior of the casino and the retail space for the Fontainebleau YSL (Saint Laurent). For this tenant improvement project on the Strip in Las Vegas, the sensitivity of the materials sold at YSL necessitates a barrier instead of any other type of permeable option retarder.

ImCon collaborated closely with the general contractor, Herst & Siebert from San Clemente, Southern California, to create a barrier system and a comprehensive mechanical system to circulate air through the retail space. We conducted limited quality assurance observation visits to support the ongoing work. Six hundred-pound concrete façade panels are attached to rails secured to structural tube steel fixtures. Waterproofing the rails and clips is an extensive task, utilizing a waterproofing system that includes a liquid-applied high-temperature method with integral mastics and mesh.
