The scope of work for GCC consisted of waterproofing a below grade service tunnel that connected all resort buildings, waterproofing elevator pits, caulking of all exterior windows, installation of expansion joint systems both vertical and horizontal, hot applied waterproofing systems over occupied spaces and waterproofing pedestrian deck coating systems throughout the resort.
