feedback and input to architects and designers. Shane Switzer (VP of Operations), Evan Broadhead (ProjectSuperintendent),andDennis Laucht (Field Superintendent), have all been involved in Noble Company sheet membranes being successfully installed in thousands of hotel showers, countless lobbies, back of the house, and exterior applications. The Bellagio people mover was the latest project in which Noble products received their endorsement. Enter the “people mover” The people mover is an overhead traffic conveyance that directs patrons off the street, and offers an elevated and elements-protected pathway towards the Bellagio. A people mover can be a mechani- cal moving sidewalk or – like this project – a stationary raised plat- form, with open sides and a roof that relies on a large-format natural stone walkway to funnel guests towards the main casino. For this project, removal of the existing stone, all floor prep and membrane installation as well the new stone installation had to be done in a matter of weeks. The finished work had to stand up to significant thermal expansion/con- traction, and provide a waterproof surface, which allowed rain water to funnel to drains and scuppers. During the bid-negotiation pro- cess – and project pre-con meet- ings – Shane, Evan, and Dennis TECHNICAL FEATURE ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– When embedding Noble/Dal-Deck over large exterior areas, a 75-100 lb roller ensures a uniform, consistent bond of CPE membrane to the substrate. Crews at T Nickolas Company install the stone over the membrane. 72 TileLetter | November 2017
