Layher Protect System panels take the place of traditional barriers constructed for renovation. The system also insulates, creating an added sound barrier that ensures customers continue to enjoy their shopping experience. Vinyl placards adhere to the panels to replace customary signage during construction and offer advertising. The panels are reusable. After the project is completed, the vinyls will be removed and the panels will be cleaned and reintroduced for the next project. Translucent options are available. Layher Protect Panels are compatible with the Layher Allround and SpeedyScaf, designed to just “click” into place. The modular design allows the work to be completed quickly and efficiently, helping to maintain budgets. The Bayview Village renovation includes a Protect modular door system, a built-in door that creates a separate service entrance for workers and keeps crew transport – a tell-tale sign of construction: seamless and out of view. The project is being conducted in six phases, working from east to west sides of the mall, and will accommodate the regular business operations of restaurants, banks and multiple stores until the project’s end in mid- to late July. Don Fry is currently in phase four of the project, with Layher accommodating extreme turnaround for the panels shipped from North America and Germany. This isn’t Don Fry’s first time using the panels. With the ability to create an airtight seal, they’re similarly a logical choice for projects that involve hazardous materials. Don Fry recently used the panels to accommodate an abatement project: sand-blasting of a lead- based pipeline in California. Don Fry recently completed a project near a Toronto school that utilized the panels for a similar purpose, constructing a 210-ft.-long wall of opaque panels to mitigate construction noise associated with the project. The system’s ability to dampen sound, provide privacy and prevent debris from escaping made it an ideal choice. The wall will remain for the project’s duration, approximately 18 months. The panels have also been used to shield sites from inclement weather. In 2016, Don Fry assembled a scaffold box with the panels on the top of a building while a massive skylight was being renovated. The structure essentially served as a 40x30-ft. roof over the skylight and provided heat retention during chilly months when other crews were out of work. THE BAYVIEW VILLAGE RENOVATION INCLUDES A PROTECT MODULAR DOOR SYSTEM,A BUILT-IN DOOR THAT CREATES A SEPARATE SERVICE ENTRANCE FOR WORKERS AND KEEPS CREW TRANSPORT – A TELL-TALE SIGN OF CONSTRUCTION: SEAMLESS AND OUT OF VIEW. OPAQUE PANELS MAINTAIN A CLEAN LOOK FOR PATRONS AND KEEP RENOVATION SHIELDED FROM CUSTOMERS. TRANSLUCENT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE. ACCESS CANADA WINTER 2018 27
