Architectural Wall Panels and Accessories

This new facility, in the middle of Temple University’s campus, is an architectural masterpiece. EDA’s installation of over 18,000 sq. ft. of metal wall panels is an excellent complement to the building’s exterior.

EDA Contractors Inc. was solicited by one of our manufacturers to perform the replacement of over 625 panels in this rain screen application. As a direct result of work performed on another project, this manufacturer had the confidence that EDA would be able to successfully and discreetly replace the panels on this fully occupied building in Philadelphia. The project required coordination with the building owner along with the current tenants to remove and replace panels, keep egress paths clear, and not disturb the occupants inside.

EDA’s fabrication abilities allowed an extremely quick turnaround time from field dimensions, to fabrication, to installation of new panels on site. EDA utilized swing scaffold and high reach equipment on a busy city street to complete this project in a safe and efficient manner making the owner and tenants of the building enthusiastically satisfied.
