Restoring historic buildings takes ingenuity and flexibility with materials, equipment and manpower. The Little Rock, Ark. branch of Western Specialty Contractors used all of the above when it restored and waterproofed the historic Federal Building in Little Rock. The scope of work also included replacing limestone at the exterior planters and restoring expansion joints in the underground, 100-foot-long, concrete tunnel that connects the Federal Building and another government facility.
Building codes are increasingly emphasizing requirements for fire protection and compartmentation within new structures as well as in renovation construction. Stopping the spread of smoke and fire is a critical element of today’s architectural and structural design.
