IR Analyzers to Conduct Electronic Leak Detection Testing at Hudson Yards

IR Analyzers/Vector Mapping, a provider of membrane integrity testing for the roofing and waterproofing industries, announces that it will conduct ELD Fusion testing at Hudson Yards in New York City. “We’re excited to be selected to perform ELD Fusion testing for Hudson Yards,” says company president Peter Brooks. “This unprecedented $20 billion project will feature more than 17 million square feet of commercial and residential space and create more than 23,000 construction jobs.”

ELD Fusion is a major breakthrough in the development and specification of electronic leak detection for roofing and waterproofing membranes. Brooks says: “Fusion testing ensures more thorough coverage and the most accurate test results by incorporating high-voltage ELD testing on vertical surfaces and transitions with traditional low-voltage vector mapping on horizontal areas. Combining these technologies produces the most comprehensive test methodology available.”

Hudson Yards is the epicenter of New York City’s burgeoning New West Side and is projected to draw 65,000 visitors a day. It is the largest private development in American history and features five state-of-the-art office towers, 5,000 residences, a 750-seat public school, a 200-room luxury hotel, more than 100 shops and restaurants and 14 acres of public open space.
