THE PROJECT:
Dryvit Headquarters, West Warwick, RI
THE EXTERIOR SURFACE:
Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS)
|
THE CHALLENGE: Cleaning the exterior of buildings clad with
EIFS is a very tricky proposition and an important part of the
routine maintenance required on EIF systems. When Dryvit(r), the
nation's leading EIFS manufacturer, needed to clean the exterior
of its national headquarters in West Warwick, RI, it encountered
difficulty finding an exterior cleaning company with experience
cleaning EIFS with the low pressure required to maintain and
protect the integrity of the surface.
THE METRO CLEAN SOLUTION: Metro Clean's ability to safely
and effectively clean the 45,000 square feet of exterior surface at
Dryvit's headquarters was entirely based on the company's unique
high-volume, low-pressure cleaning solution. Demonstrating the
incredible speed and efficiency of the Metro Clean solution, the
entire building was cleaned in the very early morning hours
before employees arrived at work. The ability to complete the
work quickly and safetly and without creating any disruption to
the company's business day represented a substantial
benefit to the client.
THE RESULT: To quote Victor Kiam, Dryvit officials liked the
company so much "they bought the company." "We were so
impressed with the unique approach and the speed with which
Metro Clean was able to accomplish its work that we immediately
began discussions about purchaing the company. I can think
of no greater testimonial than that," said Steve Collins,
Vice President for Marketing at Dryvit Systems, Inc.
