The Museum of Science and Industry was in need of a new in-laid gutter system. It was to be installed in relation to the other contractor’s masonry repairs. Coordination between the two contractors was very important as to maintain water tight integrity throughout the process. Different size radius panels dictated fabrication be performed in the field. Constant daily installation adjustments had to be made due to the condition of the existing historic structure. Intricate soldering was needed to secure water tightness on every seam.
