This is a unusual
knee wall - it's just a part of curtain wall above the highest slab. The waterproofing EPDM membrane is glued
on the top of wall.
The most obvious is
the perforation on the first plane. This kind of damage I rarely mention because
it is very easy to notice and to repair. I am sure earlier or later somebody
will patch this hole.
Another problem is
missing masonry wall in window opening left beyond. This masonry opening was to be closed
but only the terra-cotta seal has been chipped out to make space for vertical
mullion. No end dam has been created at the lashing because the support wall is
missing. Neither the air seal
caulking between mullion and masonry wall has been
produced.
I expect that
neither roofers nor caulkers would return to this spot after long awaited masons'
visit. Even if so, probably the
coping would already be installed at this time, obstructing the access. Trade rules will prevent caulkers and
roofers from dismantling the coping and nobody will be eager to call metal
workers again to do it. The magic
circle would close.
The pictures below
show the upper ends of vertical mullions.
Here the water can entry inside the mullion profile, gaining access
inside the building.
This picture shows the corner mullion.
